The weight of 7 guys and their gear is easily more than a single warhead from a Mirv. Do they want to sacrifice the plane to do what a standoff weapon could do? Sounds like a boondoggle.

Yep, blast into low earth orbit, and after reentry, glide over the target area and have the team make a HAHO or HALO exit. Plane discreetly puts down several countries away with nobody any the wiser.

So, if you get drunk and miss your deployment they can put you in one of these and you will get to greet the rest of your battalion when it arrives. Plus you get an astronaut badge.
