Sailors also share a common bond in war regardless of the side they fight for. My dad was in the Navy during WW2. The common enemy was the sea.
We are in the business of killing. Yes, it should be the absolute last resort, but we should be prepared to do it. And when our enemies do the job themselves for us, it makes our job that little bit easier.
Imagine if this thread was on PPRuNe-ski about a C-17 EFATO from BZN. Given all our efforts to support Ukraine I doubt they would be sympathetic.
