The dynamics and workload associated with the types of flying. The maturity level and cognitive function required to lead multiple aircraft into a combat situation, and deploying ordinance in close proximity to friendly forces demonstrates a higher level of proficiency than does landing a twin Cessna on a 8,000 Ft runway.
PS, I’m not a mil jet guy, I’m a former RW guy who has 1200 hours of flight time that most majors don’t even consider actual flight time.
