It's dangerous. God bless the men that choose to train themselves to protect the country.
We lose more fighter pilots in training than in combat.
War, even training for war, is dangerous and not for sissies.
Hand salute for the Cadet.

Our military training is so much tougher and more focused than almost every single country in the world. China and Russia do not put anywhere near the kind of emphasis on realistic training that we do. We lose lives but win wars.

A few weeks ago I stumbled across the figures for WW2 Air Corps losses in training accidents. Over 12,000 dead. Many thousands more injured.
As for the unfortunate cadet, for all we know he tripped and hit his head. Let’s wait a few days and see what actually happened before assuming negligence by the Academy.
