SoPinesHeel,

As my previous post stated, "IF this recent C-17 landing is just plain old pilot error then they as well as the B-1 crew should never fly again and become greeters at Wal-Mart!".
Intentional emphasis on the word "IF". As far as your attitude....you need to re-evaluate what it means to be a professional. Professionals pilots, both civilian and military, are accountable for their actions. IF this is a repeat of the B-1 gear up a few years ago then my point is only that the crew should be prepared to lose their wings over such a serious breach of basic airmanship, judgement and discipline.
Oh and by the way, I am returning to active duty. It has also been my experience that pilots with attitudes like yours are always the first to blame external factors for their failure to achieve mission objectives in flight instead of placing blame squarely where it lies -- on the pilot in command! Cheers!
