Bad analogy. SEALs are trained for sniper support. F-22 pilots rarely know how to clear an M-16.

Right, I only used the analogy to illustrate the absurdity of risking highly valuable assets in duties perhaps better done by less valuable assests. Not saying their lives are inherently more valuable than the life of a grunt -- they're not -- but as military assests they are more valuable. You wouldn't use an aircraft carrier as a mine sweeper or a pilot as a grunt (even if he knew how to shoot).
