Even with push button ship based missiles someone still has to do recon and assess the destruction to make sure they got the target. Maybe not the guy pushing the button, but someone.
Probably the USAF intel analysts that watch war zones through aerial cameras. They are literally 1000s of miles away but still see the full horrors of war.

Not every square inch of war ground can be targeted with satellites - boots on the ground are still the goto for tactical intelligence gathering.
