Every single person that is part of the operation needs to be honored (in variable ways depending on involvement and mission) to the highest honor.
I really think the men and women that are and are going to be following through with these operations need to fully known and honored afterwards. This country, and the world will owe them a huge debt of gratitude of the likes we have never seen before.
To God be the glory. In Judges 7 God did not want a massive army to overthrow the midianites. He dwindled Gideons army to a mere 300 soldiers so that they could not take to glory for themselves. It is through God's strength and will that things are done.
