"Do I know too few of them"...? Well, aside from the pilots of the MC12 above, there's also the crew of the RAF Voyager not so long ago. Setting aside the serious lapses of professionalism which caused the event, the actions of both pilots during the recovery displayed very poor knowledge of the flight control system -to the extent that many days after the event, the Captain apparently remained convinced he'd done nothing wrong!
It's a pity that the OP chose to frame this as a military versus civilian issue because I strongly agree with his underlying point. These issues are not always well trained. Simulator sessions which would be a perfect opportunity to do so are mostly used for regulatory box-ticking with the emphasis very much on testing rather than training.
