I was trying to be gracious. I have flown with plenty of guys at XJT that would make fantastic Military pilots. I know quite a few Mil guys that would be crappy Airline Pilots. Notice I tried to make it abundantly clear to those incapable of critical thinking, by putting in ALL CAPS my opinion that becoming a Military Pilot is an OPPORTUNITY for the fortunate, not a birth right of "superior" people. As was posted earlier, most of us are responding to the earlier tone of the thread that Mil pilots are crap.
Nothing I have said contradicts anything you said. Why again are you attacking my post?
This is a discussion forum you know, you can be the thought police and respond like that to any thread: "Who died and made you the judge of...." I guess by your reasoning only HR departments should be on here expressing their opinions and judgments on this matter.
Likewise.
If that was your intended meaning then we are in agreement. I must have misread your statement as being pompous. I got tired of all these people going on about the IQ and intelligence of civilian pilots versus military pilots which is a worthless argument.
