No...to this attempted redirection.
Pilots, in particular military pilots, are very competent WHEN IT COMES TO AIRCRAFT. I was never suggesting they're brilliant intelligencia.
I'm a Army veteran, tankers are competent in tanks and tracked vehicles, weapons specialist are competent in weapons, etc.
To put it in layman's reference, you're trying to say that because a car mechanic has alcohol problems, or beat his wife, or doesn't know metaphysics he isn't competent in car mechanics. Ridiculous and intellectually dishonest.
These are sometimes military personnel (rather you want to admit it or not, costing millions to train) who are competent in their areas of training: radar, drones, aircraft, etc., and you and others are suggesting they don't know what the fukk they seen! That's irresponsible, deceptive, dishonest, and denial.
