We know that there were sorties flown that had no action.. But just try to have a look at it this way.

When you watch a movie.. Any movie.

When an actor has to travel from point A, to point B, the movie does not follow the actor's every move. Instead, you see buddy jump into his car, drive around the corner, and the next scene is buddy arriving at said destination. Otherwise, our movies would be 5 hours long and well, I don't need to say more.

In the coops that we speak of, we are talking about getting rid of that "wasted" time. Maybe not wasted to you, but to some (alot that I hung out with), we enjoyed that quick action and got more "bang for our buck" in one evening. Another thing is, is when pilots get shot down, they know that within 10min or so, they'll be back with the group again, attempting their organized attack that they've been sent out to do.

Time spent here or there, is more precious to some than others.

Edit* Don't get me wrong. I DO appreciate those flights that you speak of aswell. But it's always nice to have your choice between a nice restaurant and a fast food joint.
