Sudden rockets and a shower of lead

Well our artillery ain't gonna stop

Stand in in a field, marking location

Napalm lights up an acre of wood

R&R is gonna do me well

I don't get it. Why not replacing them with Osprey? The MV-22 got bigger load and longer range compared to Stallion/King Stallion. Plus, it was more compact to store within ship's hangar.

You'd be surprised at how bad a motivated 'lone wolf" terrorist can really screw up a shuttle launch.

Launch platforms use a whole hell of a lot of liquid oxygen fuel, and LOX's combustibility makes gasoline look like water.

There's lots of other, likely better reasons why you don't want unauthorized access to a launch site that I can't think of.
