I think you’re missing the point. If - when - it all kicks off, perhaps in the way you suggest
Israel striking at Iranian Nuclear facilities
of course the politicians are going to order everything into the air, single-skin leaking fuel pipes, hot bleed pipes etc, notwithstanding. And of course the boys and girls will go to war, just like they always have done.

The point is - they shouldn’t be asked to do it all the time, under less immediately urgent circumstances, in aircraft that are, and are known to be, a lot less safe than they would be if senior levels in the chain of command had done their duty.
