There was a YouTube video from Ward Carroll, a "veteran F-14 Tomcat radar intercept officer, writer, and military commentator", that ultimately deals with this question, though it does so only after establishing a fair amount of background detail.

And while on the face of it, this video would appear to jump headlong into a hot button political discussion... it's actually very calm, collected, and appears to be striving to provide an objective analysis from a military perspective about just these issues.
