Yeager might not have thought about anyone else but himself when the sh_t hit the fan, but there are plenty of documented cases of military pilots who have... done exactly the opposite... selfless acts like these do actually happen on occasion. (-- Ewan Whosearmy)

So you agree (..selfless acts "on occasion") -- that there's some truth to Yeager's viewpoint ?
Does your view (plenty of selfless pilots) or Yeager's view (mostly survival-motivated pilots) predominate in the real world of such military piloting emergencies ?
Care to cite the specifics of one or two of these 'documented cases', similar to this F-18 crash circumstance, where the pilot deliberately maneuvered away from a school/hospital/etc. seconds before impact/ejection ?
