Not that many.

Right?

So is this the result of discrimination in the military?

Yes or no answer, please.

I'm not 100% sure what you're talking about?

1) Historically, discrimination for the coveted flying slots in the US military was rampant.

2) Most of the civilian pilots are coming out of civilian flight schools or colleges, the military makes up such a small part of the current pilots it's impact is negligible.

So I guess the answer to your question is no, it's not the result of discrimination in the military.

Please let me know, what do you think it is.
