You know, military pilots routinely fly at night, under night vision goggles, and talk on the radio at the same time, as well as monitoring air speed, altitude, TGT, and a host of other important indications, while avoiding dangerous obstacles, navigating to precise locations, etc.

How much training do they get to do that? We have cut back on what little driver training kids used to get in high school. Once you get a license at age 16, you can live to be 100 without once having to go back and get additional training. Can you say that about your fighter pilots?

It's not just the training, it's DISCIPLINE, RESPONSIBILITY, and COMMON SENSE, words which are hardly ever used anymore, and rarely really understood.

Well, your points are the flip side of driving in the US. In europe, for example, getting a drivers license is pricey, say, $1200. They give instruction on high speed driving (autobahn) night driving, city driving, etc. Those deemed to have substandard skills do not pass. The written test isn't easy, either. I estimate just over half of US drivers would pass the written test alone.
