A bit off topic, but DD what do you mean military pilots should pay YOU to do the job they do?? They want to become airline pilots in order to gain the pay they feel they deserve. They "pay" for the privelige of defending you by accepting inordinate risk, family disruption and often disintegration, low relative pay rates, uncertainty in posting locations, and the chance of being sent away for unknown times to face even higher levels of danger. Your wife was right. You were being an a*se!
