Think of it in today's standards. What's more threatening or likely to garner the largest scale retaliation if put to practice; a nation with a large military force or a nation with a nuclear arsenal?
For me, just thinking of using a Valkyria as a weapon to throw an invading enemy out of your country just brings a political shit storm to mind.

Well from what I can recall from the game Selvaria could destroy the Edelweiss and Shamrock with one or two hits in Chapter 12 but think of her weapon along the same terms of power as a AT Lance or an AT shell. Where it takes three/four high tech rounds to destroy a Heavy/Medium tank head on.
With the We saw that AT rounds just bounced off the Marmota's hull and I'd imagine even a Valkyria's lance would not penetrate it's armour easily if at all. Alicia sacrificed her lance when she threw it to create a hole, so such power isn't available on a whim all time.
It's all hypothetical of what I could gather from the game's feel of weaponry and armour.
Regardless each to his own, mate. I love seeing and exchanging opinions on these sorts of things.
One thing we can all agree it's one damn good game so let's leave it at that, eh? =D
