It should be noted that many of nations have enlisted personnel as pilots.

Just what the Air Force needs is hundreds of kids educated on video games who are willing to hit the button and kill (U.S. citizens?) and anyone else that the Air Force targets without getting blood on their hands.

Many are leaving for the stress induced, guilt and unending questions of who did I kill? Where did those kids come from who werent in the pic when I fired....program needs reigning in.
