I missed this. My point was, remember what you signed up for. There's plenty of chat that our defence doctrine has moved away from dropping LGB's on Toyotas from the Flight Levels, toward a possibility of near-peer conflict in our region. The last time we fought China, 77 Squadron lost many, many pilots. The last time we lost a combat aircraft, the missiles came from CCP supported logistics.
People can do their own research of Western combat pilots in conflict post-Vietnam, who shirked their duty. Perhaps they joined up just to learn to fly?
