Respectfully, the capability to defend is hardly a reason to not engage an enemy. Does one shoot at a transport aircraft full of troops, or wait for them to parachute down? The same of a landing craft, or soldiers scaling a cliff. A fair fight sounds chivalrous, but war is barbaric. If it were Martians descending, we wouldn't think twice...
