What a horribly planned, and luckily executed space marine deployment would look like, especially if you break the laws of physics with your KICKASS music!

Instead of loading up with tanks and aav's and whatnot, why don't we:
Put the "Space Marines" in capsules and fire them from orbiting troop carriers like rounds out of a gun.
The capsules would disintegrate as it fell creating a confusing radar signature for enemy gunners on the ground. Several parachutes would be attached allowing the "Space Marine" to deploy them and cut them loose as needed.
Once on the ground he would be in a powered armored suit making him incredibly fast and strong and it would hold a lot of weapons on it.
That would be wicked kickass.
It actually sounded a lot more like the Halo ODSTs to me.
Sorry, that is just what I thought of when I saw the video.
I will try and diversify my esoteric references to old books.
(To be fair, I didn't really reference it last time, I commented on someone else referencing it)
the music makes me hate that guy, atleast the intro stuff..
Just a guess but I'm guessing you haven't read Starship Troopers...
You know what that music is from don't you? The first song anyhow.
