Losing two on one side on takeoff is challenging to say the least.

I understand what you are saying about being "dangerous" but couldn't one say that a pilot that isn't trained to proficiency and peak performance especially when it comes to abnormal situations is a safety issue? I don't have significant time as a single pilot operations; at least in a multi-crew platform the schedule can be risk mitigated with careful crew selection. Still doesn't make it right; our military crews should be trained at the top of their game so they can handle that abnormal, RADAR threat, challenging landing, airborne threat, put warheads on foreheads, and return home to momma and the kids safely. Thankfully I never found myself (and it doesn't sound like you did either) where I felt I hadn't flown enough to handle the flight at hand but that doesn't mean I was always ready to fly into a dirt LZ, in a RADAR environment every day and it shouldn't be that way.
