Exactly. I heard from a political source recently, that the UK should go after the archer, not catch the arrows. I gasped at this because a lot of this stuff is coming off mobile launchers. What the high level person was really saying, either through ignorance or sleight of tounge, is that we now commit forces into seek and destroy missions, multiplying the required assets in theater, actively going into the countries of origin and therefore needing to deconflict with the ongoing operations.
Effectively we become part of the war.
