Means nothing, the biggest reason people don't finish anything in life is money. Garentee you, biggest reason people don't finish truck driving school is money.
Your trying to illustrate that Americans with privilege can finish without as much determination, and that is true.
But don't say "majority" can finish training, because "majority" of people can't back up a trailer.
Furthermore, finishing training is not the only indication a pilot is fit to be a professional pilot, most every pilot who has crashed and died over the last hundred years "finished training" and that includes military pilots.
