Schroder gets some of the blame, but I blame the pilots more than the politicians. Kara and Carey should have used their own judgment to realize that they were not up to snuff. Many men quit when they know they cant stay safe. Even Donnie Cochran quit while commanding the Blue Angels because he knew his performance was putting other lives at risk. The man took himself out of THE DREAM JOB, because his flying skills were going away. That is what you expect of a Naval Aviator. It is not okay to just go out and kill yourself, there are other lives in the balance.

Those two were drunk with their notoriety, constant press interviews, and status as feminist heroes for taming the mighty Tomcat. It was a lie. Both had some good days as Tomcat drivers, but you need to have ALL good days, and that was not true in their cases.

You think Big Time quit all on his own? That's not what I heard.

That says it all;they fell in love with their manufactured personas.
