[Jurassic Park] What actual military purpose would a dinosaur serve that something else couldn’t better?

So a big point in the newer movies is that Ingen wants to weaponize the raptors and genetically design dinosaurs like the Indoraptor to be sold to the military/highest bidder. I always thought this was dumb because what can a velociraptor do that a hellfire missile can’t? Regardless if something like the Indoraptor would be a good anti-personnel weapon, what happens when the media gets footage of the US sending a engineered killing machine to go tear apart some villagers in a 3rd world country? 

If it’s just for warlords or private clients, why would you spend $9 million on a dinosaur which is limited in its capability, when you could hire a bunch of mercenaries and arm them? I’m just wondering if there’s an actual application.

- Terror. It strikes fear into the enemy because this is not something that can be reasoned with. It's not fighting them, it's hunting them.
 - It costs $850,000 - $1.4m per year to keep a US soldier in the field. Once the infrastructure is there, they'll be cheaper than soldiers. In fact, you don't even have to equip them outside of putting trackers on them. 
 - They're like big attack dogs, but because they're genetically engineered and not kept as pets there's less of a moral quandary/animal rights issue about sending them into battle - especially amongst the general public
 - Raptors can be more Intelligent and Reactive than missiles, strikes and robots can *legally* be. They all need a human in the trigger loop to reduce civilian casualties. Raptors *can't* have this. Now, maybe there will be a law in the future, but right now they can argue they're just big attack dogs and fall under that category.
