Not much. The soldiers can't do anything in space - they are just payload. If you want to complain about payload you have to complain about all ICBMs, and none of the big powers are going to do that.
What I'm interested in, however, is how they plan for the soldiers to stay conscious as the Trident (presumably they'll be using a Trident) blasts off with accelerations suited for carrying warheads, not humans.
I can just see this. These guys are blasted off by Trident rocket to Iran. By the time the main rocket stops two are unconscious from G-LOC. The Iranians spot them coming. As they groggily fight off all the Gs they've been taking from takeoff to landing, plus the shock of landing, and open the hatches (without any help from the outside), they are surrounded by Pasdaran...
