    Putting 6 armed troops in a very expensive missile and dropping them in a very predictable trajectory with very poor accuracy sounds like a very expensive way to create gold star families.

    Consider this. If you needed 6 very well armed troops in an area, why not just give a pile of money to the enemy’s troops to flip a few?

    You could pay them each 10 mil, and give them a green card, and you’d save 900k on the launch cost alone. Not to mention it would be less predictable, more covert, and it would induce paranoia in the ranks.
