Once you charge a military base you aren't going back home for a nice steak dinner and a warm cozy bed. The reality is that with vastly inferior forces in terms of numbers and equipment the best choice if it ever got hot would be a French Resistance sort of fight. Covert. And ultimately that is just a nuisance.
Not sure what all that has to do with my comment, but thanks.
I am curious, are you a military veteran?
