First world militaries do a hell of a lot more than fight. For example, talking to a young guy at a party last night and the older host. Kid's a Navy SIGINT guy, host is about to retire from commercial sailing. They got to chatting and the kid had been monitoring threats in the area the host's ship had passed through in '21.
