Re: [OT] UNSC

The UNSC provide a very good function. They protect Earth and the inner 
colonies from being fought over. This incidentally provides an excellent

place to put your shipyards and training bases. Not only are they not
going 
to get attacked, I would imagine that the majority of the human
population 
still lives inside UN protected space, thus allowing a large pool of
labour 
which cannot be threatened.
