Apologies for the OT drift here, but an important point.

This is very true.

If you can get over the idea of not actually being in the airplane, there is phenomenal career potential with the military here....IF things stay the way they are currently.

There are indications that there is a bit of a developing backlash against the speed at which the military has married the RPA/UAV concept. That leadership's love for the concept in the current conflict (a completely permissive environment) has resulted in aircraft, tactics, and systems that cannot function in a non-permissive environment (ergo, one in which they're shooting back at airplanes, significantly jamming/spoofing control signals, etc).
