In a just world when 'wings' are awarded they should probably come with a CPL
Why? Award of a CPL is not just a test of a pilot's ability to control an aircraft, it also requires that a pilot has learnt, understands, and has passed an exam on civilian regulations. As these are not taught in the military syllabus, why should award of "wings" also include award of a CPL? The two qualifications are different.

Besides, as no less an authority as BEagle has pointed out in another thread, on award of "wings" even ME-streamed pilots do not have enough PIC hours to qualify for a CPL.
