Flying missions to there from Cyprus feels like we are doing it just to show we can, surely that could have been handled much easier by the US carrier…

It’s to show our support and prove we will get involved if asked/required. The US carrier could have flattened the place on it’s own certainly. The Netherlands, Australia, Canada and Bahrain provided support as part of the mission as well.
