I would argue that they too have signed up with the anticipation that they could expect to show valour in direct combat, with a risk to their own lives.
I am uncomfortable that our technological prowess over most of those whom we consider to be "enemy" allows our combatants to extinguish enemy life without any challenge to their valour.
