I agree with you philosophy, Father Fletch.
However let's look at both ends of TMP timeline.
IF the project works as proposed, then it stands to reason that there would be some surviving military units.
IF you play the "canon" version, then 150+ years have passed, and something like the KFS has evolved out of the chaos.
In either case, our heros are going to be REALLY outgunned. Guile and stealth and civilian support are all great things.
But, sometimes you need a BIG STICK to force the demons back into their cages.
And that big stick comes in the form of artillery. I, personnaly, can see a few MARS units being armed with either the 105 mm or 155 mm US Army artillery. Both can be towed by V-150's. IF you buy the idea of a Morrow Air Force, both types of artillery can be air dropped.
To paraphrase:
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil...
Cause I AM the meanest SOB in the valley.
