I'm not being rude, but I'm happy you don't serve for your country.
At the end of the day, a fight will usually boil down to man vs man, and to win a war, you have to kill as many of the opposition as possible (to put it simply).
I think if you talked to anyone who served in the airforce for their country during any conflict, they would tell you that if there was the opportunity for the perfect, glorious, intercept where the enemy was completely oblivious; they would take it. It makes perfect sense.
It's nice to advocate such chivilrous ideas, but how do you know this enemy which you were considerate too won't end up shooting you down and killing you in the ensuing fight? And how will that help your country win the war?
As Lord Raglan noted about the character of Captain Nolan during the Crimean war: 'it will be a murderous affair when soldiers are as knowledgable in military affairs as Captain Nolan' (regarding Nolan's military expertise and knowledge in military tactics). I think Raglan's Crimean affair speaks clearly for the merits (or, rather, demerits) of such a comment.
Indeed, let's take a look at WW1; pilots found that the easiest way to kill your prey was to stay above them at altitude, then dive down, put a bullet in the back of their skull, and return home ready for the next sortie.
War is not glorious, and it's naive to assume it ever will be, Raaaid.
I can understand that you may suffer from conflicting and simplistic emotions,(along with the need to post e v e r y t h i n g that comes into your head) but I really think you should think about some of the things that you post, before you hit the submit button.
