Are you against tanks because they can be blown up? How about aircraft, hell they can be shot down real easy. So should we eliminate the Air force’s and the Army’s primary weapon too?

You are right, aircraft are vulnerable so when intercontinental ballistic missiles became available, the role of sac diminished in favor of the new technology. When battleships proved to be vulnerable to aircraft, battleships had to give way to aircraft carriers.

As satellites lasers drones etc. become instruments of war, aircraft carrier will eventually have to give way. I have twice now stated that these are considerations for the future. I do so now for the third time and pray beseeching all the gods in cyberspace that I will not be compelled to do so for a fourth time.
