If that was the case the mission planner should have had his nuts bitten off for not forseeing all eventualities!, you don't win wars from ten grand, you do very little to influence them in reality, casualty rates need to be examined to se the proportion of peeps wiped out in proportion to gongs and it's not hard to check out the crab backslapping parties post conflict, I thought every crab in the Falklands got a DFC,afc or MBE/CBE/OBE or thats how it appears to the rest of the armed forces, while no one can question the bravery of the Lads in 1991 flying runway heading at zilch feet to deliver the worlds bigggest blinds on target, we all know it is "just your Job" and you push on and get it done leaving the worrying until after.. .Give the Victor guy the VC, now that would be cheapening the noble Order!
