Too bad YOU aren’t the Mach 2 jet jock top brass making the decisions.
My take would be such that the sentiments and opinions on what systems should be in place to make our men and women so respected AND feared on the battlefield be taken into account. It should be a standard that an adversary look at the possibility of facing our warriors and ultimately demure, preferring to negotiate rather than suffer a devastating onslaught that would only result in tremendous wailing and sorrow in their capitals and countrysides.
The sight of our flag and our arrayed forces should strike terror into any adversary's hearts.
Not that our warriors be used as props or toys to be played with by those in power, but to be used when absolutely necessary and when all prudent options are exhausted. Once committed, however, the fight should be short and sweet. And resoundingly positive.
