Reminds me of the conversation in Yes, Prime Minister regarding the nuclear missiles (Trident).

  - Does the RAF [Royal Air Force] agree on canceling Trident?
  - You could ask them. If you're interested in the opinion
    of garage mechanics. They'd want to keep it. They want to drop
    the bomb from an aeroplane. They just like dropping things on
    people, but they're no good at it. Couldn't even close the
    runway at Port Stanley. Probably never find Moscow, and if
    they did they'd miss it.
