It's not really a matter of professionalism in this case, as our technology is so woefully mismatched. Iran has decent equipment, but nothing any level of professionalism will close the gap with US technology on.

I don't mean to imply they're helpless, but we don't even have to put pilots over their airspace if we don't want to. They simply do not have the tools to fight us in our battle space unless we take the bait and put troops on the ground.
