We have long had a policy of not sending troops to do work that can be done with smart bombs and cruise missiles. Many of those who have been on the receiving end of these particular forms of persuasion have had no defense against us and no way of fighting back. I am sure that many of them thought us cowardly, and wished that we would fight on their terms. I don't agree: we were simply being practical. When you are the biggest guy on the block, the people who don't like you are not going to challenge you to step outside and fight. They are going to gang up on you, ambush you, and try to sneak in a groin chop when you aren't looking. They are not being cowardly, they are being practical. War is nasty business; there is little point in expecting it to be otherwise.
