You asked the wrong question, Leaddie. It's not about individual personalities.

The correct question is:

Does it ever occur to all you proponents of the status quo that the Americans may know a little more than Australia about moving and mixing lots of military, civilian commercial and private aircraft around the sky at levels of safety that are justified by the risks and costs?

No doubt someone will come up with examples of mid-airs in the USA involving various aircraft in this mixture. Which kinda makes the point. Australia seems to be labouring under the misconception that there's such a thing as a risk-free environment that can be achieved at reasonable cost.
