[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) We're splitting hairs here, but to me, never flying a mission and getting grounded means he was never a 'fighter pilot.' I mean, we agree on the basics and have a mildly different interpretation of the terms. Have a safe and happy holiday season permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Zippy@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) A large portion of fighter pilots don't actually fly a mission or a mission that involves weapons activation. That doesn't make them any less of a fighter pilot. Most of the time they are training or just protecting assets. But if you want to walk up to these guys and suggest they are not a fighter pilot cause they didn't kill anyone yet then go ahead. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago I haven't met every pilot on Earth.
