I would like to take some short issue with your statement. Nothing personal, mind you, just an observation.
I don't think our people would necessarily be happy to oblige them.
Our military today is an unbelievably, highly trained group of men an women, who train to solve the diplomatically unsolvable. While the human emotion runs high in times of wartime stress, they look to overcome the obstacles placed in front of them, with knowledge, intelligence, and a form of pragmatism, lacking in other environments.
I'm sure there is some celebration after successfully completing a mission....however...I don't think happiness, or for that matter, sadness, is an overwhelming emotion to which they subscribe. Au point is the taking of a human life.
If the losss of life is either key, or pertinent to completing the task....training becomes the paramount motivator.
Once again....I was not trying to single you out for this...but there are many, myself included, armchair generals, who want to feel good about what our armed forces are doing...and how they do it.
Having said this....I hope we kick their ass.
