Now why, I wonder? They are trees in the same wood and they all need to be seen because they all can kill. Certainly lowering standards of aircrew recruitment in the name of 'positive discrimination' will kill just as surely as lack of airworthiness does. Covering up the latter has already killed too many. This isn't a parlour game!
You are seriously over analysing my words and intent, and you have found another outlet to bang the military airworthiness cover up issue. Not all topics fit that.
My intent now is to go and enjoy a brunch and let you over analyse that.
