I could have left the nest alone, and prayed that my family would not be harmed by the hornets, but I did not want to take that risk. And, yes during the process of ridding my yard of hornets they all banded together and during those moments the risk of getting stung was highest. But now the risk is minimal.

We did not need a report to tell us that if we go to war, enemy activity/recruitment/etc. will go up during the war. We can not measure sucess or failure until after the war.
