""Hey, watch this!" - Has killed more soldiers than enemy bullets..."

I doubt that. Accidents are almost never a case of soldiers showing off. It happens, but don't make it a bigger problem than it is.

Tell that to the B-52 crew that died in the pre-show practice. Their pilot had a nasty reputation for showing off, had been reprimanded for it, but never punished for it. Then he winged the jet over, and dropped it into a power substation, killing everyone on board.

Sorry, but that is wrong. Outside of mechanical failure, almost all military flying accidents are due a failure to follow procedure, which is most cases does come down to showing off. It happens more than the military would like you to know.

BS. Soldiers show off all the time, and people die.

Personally, I have dropped an M1 tank in a lake, driven a BMP down a ski slope, backwards, and done a lot of other silly things.

You want soldiers that fight and win, or avoid danger at any cost?
