Little things mean a lot. If you view the video, at about the 4:12 mark you can see the pilot's oxygen mask, it seems to be pretty solid.

Compare that to the mask shown below.

The difference is the soft rubber oval right below the night vision goggle. These ovals, one on either side of the oxygen mask, allow the pilot to pinch and blow into the nose to equalize the pressure his/her ears that often happens when coming down from higher altitudes. Prevents ruptured ear drums in the worst case, but is mainly for pilot comfort.

It's a little detail, but one that shows we are still ahead in the game and that we place a little more value on our troops.
