Hmmm, that seems a bit illogical. Without the primary function or purpose for combat the aircraft would not have been built in the first place. So if you feel that combat action, real or simulated, are not justified, don't build the vehicle or item that fulfills it's prime function in the first instance. In other words, why build something if you don't intend to use it for the purpose it was built.
