I'm pretty sure the first few knocks were tongue in cheek/sarcastic. Anybody who talks lesser of any general group obviously does not have the experience of flying with pilots of various backgrounds. I have flown with Military guys that can't fly their way out of a paper bag. I have flown with military pilots that are stellar. I can say the same about prop drivers, jet drivers, CFI's, Jet Uers, Riddlers, jet drivers, freight dawgs......its what the individual makes and learns of it, not the the type a/c or flying (to a degree)
