I beg to differ.
As you are perfectly entitled to do so.

The problem that I see with the 'can do' attitude is that once committed it doesn't leave much option for retreat. This formation does not appear to have given much thought to that or how to recover safely from IIMC.

I also somehow doubt that the families of the crew were very happy to read the following which could also be described as a 'can do' attitude.

The Defence Force's court of inquiry, released today, into the accident found sub-standard protocols and a culture of "rule breaking" among 3 Squadron was partly to blame.
