Drawing a parallel between changing a spark plug on a Tri* and being involved in a kill chain, or being 'on the ground' , indicates that you probably have no experience of either.
Oh do be serious, the kill chain as you put it runs all the way back to the man assembling the weapon, like it or not, the man releasing it is just the end product in a long line of people that need to come together to make that happen and are fully aware of the cause and effect of their jobs..
Without any of those in that line the guy would be sitting on the ground hungry, naked and outside still in the UK, because all of the people that come together to make it happen apparently are not part of the chain of events. If you mark one out for an award, then you need to recognise them all.
Tristars incidently have Ignitors not Spark plugs..
