You will NEVER be a fighter pilot.

Ya mean like a 911 Porsche?
Sad but the statement is prolly true. Unmanned aircraft can take all the G-forces that the bird will take. Humans are pretty much limited to around 9 for a bit then bad things happen. Plus you shoot down a bird with a pilot, not good. Shoot down a drone and we just send another to take its place.
No comment on the rest, we know who we are and what we can do.
