I wouldn't fly wingman for someone who ended up on the deck every flight and forced me to get myself killed for their mistakes. We fly as a team and share our kills but try our best to survive the mission.
You see, my "chip on the shoulder" stems from the fact that you make me out to be some T&B dude just to prove your point, which I am most certainly not. I am actually agreeing to your stances on most accounts, but you simply don't appear to understand that there are those situations within constantly and dynamically shifting combat conditions were you are finding yourself in a problematic situation, no matter how much you stick "to the book". And in the course of that you are activly torpedoing any debate on how to successfully get out of these again. Ppl "do" make mistakes, including your wingmen. And just abandoning those just to save your skin and blame them for making mistakes is simply not a principle I go by.
