AMEN! You are a soldier and a military officer, before being a pilot (even in the Air Guard). Your job is killing people and breaking things or supporting those who do. Flying is incidental to that job. Joining the military for "free flight training" doesn't always work out well. If she has a desire to serve, then flying in the military is a great option.
