Nah, in American guys who lose their airplanes get elected President (or at least nominated). Anybody ever wonder why we don't nominate/elect people who shot down the other guy?

You have to lose at least 3 planes to become president.

Randy "Duke" Cumningham was one of only four US aces of the Vietnam war, only he and Steve Richie of the AF were pilots. The others, Chuck DeBellevue (AF), William Driscoll (Navy) and Jeff Feinstein(AF) were back seaters..

Flying fighters isn't the safest occupation and sometimes mishaps happen. Will somebody be found at fault, yes. It might cost both pilots their jobs.
If you think you can do a better job, then I highly encourage you to get off the bench and get in the game.
