It's sad the Military should be slagging off their colleagues so readily (you're meant to stick together, girls & boys), it just sounds like snobbish jealousy - especially given the Times report today that both support for, and recruitment into, the Services is significantly greater than in recent years/months.
The Services have an ability (and the funds) to train to a level that is unaffordable in Civvy Street - and are highly regarded as a result. Military Wings are not "gifted" to those unable to cut the mustard, although those of slightly lesser ability may be posted to slightly less demanding roles / aircraft. Sadly if HARRIERPILOTNAS is actually anything like that, he does not put his Service or his trade in a good light by his poor use of basic English, however bigotted - (it's "their" cornflakes, not "there".
