"A global power defines itself by the freedom with which its citizens can choose their summer holidays"
Yes, pretty much exactly.
I think I will adopt that as my definition
It covers both the economic power to afford the holiday plus the reach of the country to look after its own..
....and yes, I think the boys would enjoy doing just that. Sitting around bored waiting for a shout is dull. Do you imagine that the scary boys sign up hoping to not get used?

So the fact that neither we nor the Germans managed to win a war through carpet bombing doesn't put you off?
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it....
Nobody has ever tried ignoring terrorists. I think it is worth a try. The very nature of it is all in the mind. The cost in both lives and treasure disappears in the noise compared to many many other everyday tragedies which we routinely ignore. Treat them like any other criminals. Don't dignify them with combatant status.
