Also, the killer instinct disrepctful to rules and authroity is considered a desirable quality in "top gun" fighter pilots. The acquittal of the pilot is really an indictment of the system. The permanent militarization of peace is destructive to civilized society. Henry C.K. Liu >> I agree with Henry, and would like to add that they'd have less difficulty getting good pilots if the discriminated less against women and minorities in the air force.
