    So I've been playing a lot of Helldivers 2. Awesome game, and one of the key mechanics is stratagems - you type ina little code on d-pad, then throw out a ball with a signal light for air/orbital support. A section of these are "eagle" strikes, where a plan circling in support flies in and drops an attack super quickly. The most satisfying of these is the simple airstrike: type the code, throw the ball, and three seconds later a barrage of heavy bombs drops on the target.

    Now, when I see genocidal maniacs, I think to myself, "an eagle airstrike would solve this person in seconds flat".
