Nothing I wrote could be equated with “trigger happy.” That would be like saying Chris Kyle was on a “killing spree.” But I stand by my point: if they are given a legal order to shoot down an IAF (or any other) aircraft they will do their best to do just that.

It is the duty of an officer to question if an order is “legal” or not. They are not robots, and they are not going to blindly follow any order that they think is questionable.... IE indiscriminately firing on US civilians, shooting down known allies, etc.

The perfumed princes of the five sided puzzle palace may be all “Yes Sir! Three bags full sir!” in regards to EmpERROR Zero, but the field commanders (who are the ones that matter BTW) are nothing like that.
