But of course the number one military priority is mission accomplishment, not personnel safety, and it shows in our accident stats. Airline pilots need adequate rest, since safety is job one (on a not-to-interfere-with-profits basis according to management).
I'm sure our mishap rates would be at least a little lower if we didn't practice / do some of the missions that we accomplish either
