That's what I'd had in mind.  Very briefly, a VIP is going to have to be
protected by the local police until the military can show up a couple of
turns into the game to pull his ass out of the fire.

That's pretty much how I saw it.  Against folks in full military gear,
with
the proper training, they won't be all that impressive.  Against rioting
civilians, on the other hand, they'd be a lot more effective and
dangerous,
comparitively speaking.
