Spies in space HA!

THey are thinking about setting up a program to put Marines in space. And when a hot spot pops up around the world, they would drop a MEU (Marine Expiditionary Unit, the type on naval vessels) right near the action, instead of loading them on a boat and sailing over there. Think star ship troopers. It only takes a day to orbit the earth, so we could have soldiers on the ground withing a day of a hot spot popping up. We would drop in from drop ships and have a space station above earth..sounds cool and it might be a reality.
