Not wishing to support ignoring an RA, but: F16Guy is in an a/c with vast spectrum of electronics sensors, displays of a swarm of bees (friendly), a large + & - g capability and a bubble canopy. The ability to see & avoid is different for them than us. Should they receive a "descend now.. increase rate" RA he could roll & pull in the wink of an eye. What he would then do on the subsequent RA from traffic 10,000' below would be interesting. He might also have the option to manoeuvre laterally, which we do not yet have.
Either way it's not apples & apples. I expect the military have more flexible SOP's than us.
