I opine that the (new)age old argument of to pull or not to pull, or rather, does an airframe even need a parachute, will never be won - there are persuasive arguments on both sides.
Though, I always remember wise advice about returning to earth: Chances of survival are inversely proportionate to angle of arrival.
With that, I tend toward a preference of arriving to earth with forward flying speed, and near zero vertical speed, rather than vertical speed, which I cannot arrest nor control. But, that's me. If I had been trained in military aircraft, which I suspect are characteristically incapable of a practical forced landing, and taught the benefits and decisions associated with ejecting, I might see it differently.
