Context Les - let's get it right: the "big stick" is a deterrent, not a construction component to support that which has been damaged. If our politicians were doing their job, nothing would have been damaged in the first place.
And to answer your question: on 9/11, I was the executive officer of a Wing Support Squadron and we immediately began preparations for deployment to carry a "big stick" into al quaeda's backyard.
