I kinda doubt that. Priority: Earth clearly states that 4000+ EMS is needed for the breath scene, even if you were to maximize every single War Asset in the game you only get around 7100, not enough to be able to reach it. Unless you have video evidence I'm not believing it.

That may have been established, but the idea of such vulnerable people taking part in such high risk missions just isn't practical, they would be better used on their own planet. It's like having the normal Citadel races fight on a planet like Irune or Dekunna, one if you get a suit puncture you'll be dead in no time and the other a simple fall could kill you assuming you could even move in the first place. I might be able to understand if Volus were in the normal military battles, but in Spec Ops missions were only the best of the best are used, it just doesn't make sense.
