Why the Military Is Running Out of Pilots and Why Logistics Are the Real Battle
Recruiting and keeping military pilots today is a losing fight against commercial airlines and shifting career incentives and that shortage is only part of a bigger problem. Modern wars demand resilient, dispersed logistics and new expeditionary concepts (like Agile Combat Employment and EABO) that stretch traditional supply lines. From pilot pay and retention to using drones, Liberty Lifter ground-effect craft, and low-profile autonomous vessels for resupply plus the surprising vulnerability caused by social media geotags the Pentagon is scrambling to rethink how to fight and keep forces fed, fueled, and flying.

See, if the administration were kinder and more accepting of murderers, rapists, illegal aliens, gangsters, junkies, LGBTQPYDZRAC123s, they'd have all kinds of pilots.
