Sadly very plausible.
I would claim that it is not only implausible but inevitable given
the current reluctance in the West to commit humans to the in person
task to the destruction of its enemies.
You write 'current reluctance' as though it were different in the past and might change in

task then they are more exposed to risk. Only an irrational society would risk it's
members unnecessarily.
