In the HIGHLY unlikely event that you managed to find ONE fully trained, fully armed, fast jet pilot under ORDERS to fire who failed to do so then his mates would certainly, happily and QUICKLY put their coffee down and pop along to finish the job. (If his wingman didnt get in there first)
Following their [legal] orders [and this would be legal] is what they have TRAINED to do and thats what they WANT to do and dont let anyone tell you otherwise!
