    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.

      I haven’t met every pilot on Earth. I know that there wasn’t a day when I wouldn’t have told George W. Bush that he wasn’t a fighter pilot.
