That is impossible. You can't defend the country and in turn live without fear of reprisal from the country you were defending against. That's not how warfare works. It's never worked that way. It will never work that way. You're living in a dream. Lovely thought to think you can enter a base and kill all their d00dz, and they're just going to go THANK YOU, SIR. YOU HAVE SUITABLY TAUGHT US A LESSON, AND NEVER MORE SHALL WE BOTHER YOU AGAIN! GOOD DAY!
No way. Time may pass with no retaliation, but passing years can just breed more animosity. And bear in mind that Muslim states are fanatical in their hatred of us and all things represented by us. There will be no middle ground here.
