5. The U.S. has experience fighting pirates.

We fought the Barbary pirates in the early 1800s. Not having a Space Force, we left the job to the Marine Corps. I ask ya, TEB, where was the 82nd Airborne then? Sitting next to the runway, drinking beer, waiting for airplanes to be invented, that's where.

Pirates in space? Marines got this. Of course, as usual, they can't actually get to a battlefield without help. The Navy or Air Force will have to carry them.

You and Boog can stand guard on the home front. That is all.
