18. Shouldn't all military pilots have as standing orders to avoid dumping their aircraft onto
populated areas? IMO, they should ride the damn plane all the way into the ground if there is the slightest chance that innocents on the ground are at risk.

Where is military honor when the life of one pilot (who has assumed the risks of being a military pilot) is worth more than an untold (and possibly disastrous) number of civilians on the ground?
