Yes there is risk but get over yourself being a Lt Col just so you'll have an extra retirement check when you turn 60.
"...Yes there is a risk...."!?!? What a massive blowhard! Only an absolute idiot would compare flying commercially to flying combat missions. I seriously hope I never share a cockpit with you and hear this garbage fall out of your pie-hole. Most soldiers serve their country because they LOVE IT, not for "an extra retirement check when you turn 60." You are a small, little deluded man.
