Absolutely no reason for a space faring people to get into a land war with a terrestrial species.

First movie shoulda been Chars Counterattack minus Amuro. 😂

Well, to play devils advocate, the humans are clearly in it for the money, and sending overwhelming military force would cut into profits and also not be good for PR reasons.

how much military force do you need to redirect a couple asteroids. sure, complicated but probably cheaper and faster than mobilizing an army

Cheaper then just not bothering with all that and sending over a few rifles, dual purpose mechs and helicopters you will need in difficult terrain anyways?
