A General is saying this?

Is he going to give out the launch codes next?

Having read the article it might be more of a "Don't get cocky" to his own guys. In the two examples give, in addition to the one I gave about the EA-18G, the common denominator is that the F-22 pilot has to get complacent and make a mistake.

It is kind of like when the best team in the NFL takes on the worst team and the coach gives his guys the any given Sunday speech. It is just to remind your guys that just because they are the best, doesn't mean they can let their guard down. Because the other guy might be darn good too and if you screw up you probably won't live long enough to realize it.
