Whats stopping a basedboy fighter pilot from kamikazeing or firing his missiles into his own aircraft carrier? Are there some kind of lockout systems that higher ups control or do they just trust the pilot wont do an epic meme?
>>62625584Fighter pilots are vetted psychologically to not be the kind of mentally unstable person to commit murder suicide because they think it'd be funny.
>>62625598They must trust their vetting processes a lot. An epic memer playing the long game seems not outside the realm of possibilities.
>>62625598The only psychological vetting is in the ASTB (which actually rewards answers reflecting delusional self confidence and a general lack of concern for personal safety) and during the security clearance check. There aren't any mechanical etc systems that would prevent this from happening aside from the regular hard kill CIWS stuff. It's not an issue because the kind of person who would do that is not going to make it through flight school, so kind of a moot point.
This has actually happened before, the navy did a pretty good job of covering it up.
>>62625707Qrd
>>62625689>>62625707ok ching chong.
>>62625616>They must trust their vetting processes a lot. An epic memer playing the long game seems not outside the realm of possibilitiesIts not about vetting per se. Nobody with high enough iq and skills to be a fighter pilot earning hundreds of thousands a year, getting to bang hot blonde groupies, will just "meme" some missilies into own stuff.Like literally, whats the incentive to meme away all this plus a decade of your life?
>>62625584John McCain blew up the USS Forrestal as a prank, that's why we let Vietnam keep him
>>62625733Im the one asking the questions here bub
>>62625584>>62625733There've been cases of tank crewmen and artillerymen doing basically just that, though admittedly yeah they're positions with much lower barriers to entry.
>>62625616>They must trust their vetting processes a lot.Considering it's never happened even once, that trust must be well placed.
>>62625584>>62625616It's the same reason you don't see scientists at the tops of their field suddenly deciding to build a bioweapon and kill NYC. Getting to the point where you can actually make good on the attack not only requires dedication across years, but consistency in order to get people to trust you. The kind of people who spend 6-10 years in university, then 10+ in P2/3/4 labs almost never intersect with suicidal maniacs, and the same goes with pilots. Actually attempting to kill yourself and others in a blaze of glory isn't normal, and the people who think that way are universally unhinged in some other aspect of their psychology that makes them easy to spot early on. If they're that rare intelligent, reserved kind of crazy, then they won't have the ability to train for years in a high stress environment. If they're intelligent, reserved, resilient, composed and dedicated...why the fuck are they comitting murder-suicide?
>>62625584>>62625616You should stop browsing the internet for a bit and go outside. People in the real world don't care much about "memeing".
>>62625598The amount of paperwork and bullshit hoops to become a pilot are more than enough to dissuade any would be "epic memer" >t. going through the app process for 2 branches rn
>>62625820There was the case of Germanwings Flight 9525, but that’s the only case I am aware of that fits this. Shame he did not livestream it.
>>62625932>random, rambling rant about how conservatives are evil
>>62625958Seems like you're a clinical retard
>>62625958All pilots, but especially milfag pilots are massive plane autists. Destroying a plane on purpose for the lulz is a nigh unthinkable act for somebody who puts that much time and effort into perfecting a craft that frankly earns them less money for more work than many career paths, simply so that they can interact with their favorite thing.
>>62625958Even just rumors about self destruct devices aboard planes are killers for morale and lead to pilots bailing out of salvageable situations. See the Francis Gary Powers U-2 incident for an example.
>>62625964Keep runnin ur mouth dickshit and ill show u what a retard can do
>>62625715? Are you retarded?
>>62625958>due to retardification of the countryno wonder you made this topic then
>>62626015Bring that 98IQ cock over here and it'll be the last time you ever cum, knave
>>62625584pretty much every fighter flying around has cannon rounds loaded just for weight and balance reasons. they don't do it not because they can't, but because they don't want to. it's the same reason some random person hasn't smashed your head in with a framing hammer.
>>62625958The pilot and the copilot can, if necessary, insert a code into the computer which will overload the main jet engine. This is standard practise if the fighter jet is lost to boarders and it is likely that it will be captured.
>>62626070>Overload the plane engineSurely the damage is minimal.
>>62626070I liked this character a lot actually
>>62625584This question feels so absurd and out of touch with reality until you remember people are also fantasizing their epic conscription refusal in the face of a two-more-weeks WW3 kick off as if the evil, all powerful US MIC would desperately need, and be in shambles without, their out of shape body and refined intellect chiseled by obscure substacks, "dissident" podcasts and neverending sketchy autobiographies of Whites from the Russian civil war by yet another niche indie house publishing with a Twitter acount. Total brain rot egalitarian worldview, no clue whatsoever about the absolute level a military pilot must be at. Not even a shred of imagination, even. No grass to be seen, let alone touched, in sight.
>>62626301Well they did draft tards in Vietnam
>>62626301Yooo this nigga gay for pilots
>>62625932You sound obsessed and unhinged.
>>62626301I smell projection.
>>62625932Something tells me you wouldn’t have made it thru flight school….
>>62626015Damn you really showed him who’s boss with that comeback!
>>62626002Why don’t you put a link in your stupid fucking response nigger
>>62625964I concur
>>62625584I remember back in the 90's a Warthog pilot lost his shit and kept flying with no contact into the side of a mountain IIRC. Ruled a suicide, but I always thought they possibly shot him down. >https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_D._Button
>>62625616The myth of le ebin charismatic sociopath ends with college girls and middle management. Shit stinks and the military smells you for a good long time before you get to do anything cool. I know several guys who talk like you do that got their shit pulled quick and spent their entire time in as party planners and floor sweepers in port. The lockout is getting sent to the motor pool or riding a desk because you flat out aren't good enough for the responsibility, and while there's a lot of people who meet that criteria just because they're not particularly smart or motivated, it's also how they get weirdos that no one likes (can't pass the smell test/handle the highschool 2.0 politics) on the fast track to separation.
>>62626152100% Barclay is a chan user
>>62626301>sketchy autobiographies of Whites from the Russian civil warI think most of /pol/ would have sided with the reds at this point, if that's who you're making reference to.
What is that going to help for anyone and why? You are the one who seems maladjusted to be honest.
>>62625584The fact that nobody has ever been in their single-seat fighter doing live-fire training and decided that their local sports stadium needed a jdam is kind of a small miracle.
>>62625820>The kind of people who spend 6-10 years in university, then 10+ in P2/3/4 labs almost never intersect with suicidal maniacs, and the same goes with pilots.Well there was that chemist/biologist who mailed anthrax to people, but yeah you're mostly right anon.
>>62625584>Why dont people just kill their own friends they have lived and served with for years for a meme? Are you by any chance severly mentally challenged OP?
>>62626944he's underage and thinks killing people is funny as he doesn't have a stake in anything yet. his first girlfriend (or boyfriend, considering he's making threads) will dissuade him from thinking this way.
>>62627008One would imagine having friends at all would make someone understand that killing your friends is a net loss for you.
>>62627008>tfw never had a gf or friendswill the military off me if I try to join, then?
>>62625616An epic memer isn't a human being. Your average cashier would probably screen him successfully.
>>62626495the irony of the "intelligent psychopath is that most of them are actually fucking stupid egotists who get caught doing stupid shit and canned early on. THe functioning ones are smart enough to either not do this shit or get high enough in any ladder to do it with impunity
>>62627278>THe functioning ones are smart enough to either not do this shitexactly, why wait until you're flying an f-16 with live munitions to kill someone when you could use that same intelligence to get a job working for the fbi and just... do that? hell, that way you get great pay for several decades and a pension instead of 15 seconds doing whatever you want before your flight lead wises up and shoves an entire barrel of 20mm up your ass.
>>62627313exactly, or, ya know, fly the F-16 nad just legally kill people you're told too, lmao, fuck thats the excuse a lot of psycho grunts give and hey it works.
>>62627326exactly. randomly turning on civilians or allies and killing them for no reason is low iq antisocial sociopath shit, not le edgy based memer /pol/ style basedness or whatever they call it over there.
>>62626504Yeah but modern Russia would back the whitesThey released a movie not too long ago about how Stalin was a Jewish trick played on Russia by TroskyThis was before Putins recent efforts to rehabilitate Stalins image of course
>>62627146They'll send you to the missile silos
>>62627332>duh wihtesno, russia would deprive you of all medical care, make you a second class citizen, harrass or gangstalk you with its security apparatus, deny you freedom of travel, and force you into a predatory extremely high interest debt trap or just outright enslave you to do dirty work on farms or in factories. the "they're a real bastion of trad whiteness" is just propaganda they spew to appeal to retards like you who don't realize how good you actually have it. the moment you're under their control the mask drops, just look up any testimony of ukrainians in russian controlled territory.
>>62627332>Yeah but modern Russia would back the whitesanon a large portion of modern russians ARENT white you fucking retard and the rest are too apathetic to be political at all
>>62627146are you a sociopath or just lonely?
>>62627328not like idiots have the ability to recognize their own stupidity these days with every money hungry monorn out there willing to pander to anything for hard cash
>>62627347>>62627379He was talking about the Russian Civil War Whites you retarded niggers .
>>62627403impossible to tell anymore, but at least that makes more sense
>>62627347>>62627379Do you just see the word "white" and immediately assume its a race thing?Have you literally never opened a history book before?
>>62627584because all people do here is complain about whites and browns, its just reflex at this point
>>62625584The people with a natural inclination to kill themselves because it would be funny don't tends to survive to adulthood.
>>62625598it'd be pretty funny though
>>62625616>An epic memer playing the long game seems not outside the realm of possibilities.Proton decay isn't outside the realm of possibilities, but we're currently pretty confident it is going to be quite a rare thing to witness.
>>62625764>There've been cases of tank crewmen and artillerymen doing basically just that>tank crewmen and artillerymen have been observed to be drooling retardsThank you for this astounding revelation.
>>62625733>Nobody with high enough iq and skills to be a fighter pilot earning hundreds of thousands a year, getting to bang hot blonde groupies,you have never seen or talked to any military combat pilot in your life. All your references come from tom cruise and top gun
>>62625584It would be funny and sad, both laughter and sin
>>62626504> /pol/ would have sided with the redsNah, i would haved sided with the whites.And i post there.
>>62625584>>62625616I really wonder how posters like this can exist with such a ephemeral grasp of the real world. Like how does someone like this function?
>O-oh yeah? Well, um, your pilots are going to um fly into your aircraft carrier.... n shiet...Do chinsects really believe this?
>>62627956>Like how does someone like this function?poorly, usually. the world is scary and confusing to them.
>>62627956They live in discord rooms and on here.
>>62625584>have to go to college and infinity training to get into the stupid plane>finally get in the plane>decide to attack own aircraft carrier>turn around>fire missile>anti air turret blows missile up as soon as deployed >shoots me down>its over.
>>62627956Function?
>>62626504Of course but they like to play pretend and live vicariously as anti communist fighters through sanitized books (rarely genuine Eastern European figures, always Russians on the edge of bridging some NazBolian wet dream like Rodzaevsky or Dugin) while in reality they support the united bolshevik front of spiteful turdworlders by either decrying "muh (brother) wars", "muh taxes" and the such or outright red-brown allying with the hordes that're supposed to be their friends by virtue of being enemies of their enemy. Contemporaries saw it coming and in an act of supreme smellykaka solved the apparent dillema by just schizoishly slapping together both Tsarism and Communism on the same flag. It just works(tm).This is also part of the reason for their midwit fascination with Junger, by the way. Man didn't have much of a choice but to wrap his acceptance at worst / love at best relationship with war in some metaphorical social commentary given the circumstances but these buffons eat it all up because it allows them to both fantasize about being a stoic hero surviving against all odds and form a pseudo-intellectual critique of how (the eternal) modern war just isn't noble anymore (because the other guy momentarily has a longer stick) and there's no use fighting because the odds aren't all in your favour (despite them being quite so if you're a Westerner).
>>62625616Your average 'epic memer' would fall into a dopamine coma halfay through MEPS, never mind making it all the way to getting behind the stick of a real combat aircraft.
>>62627956Think about how many people, in every country, just work a mindless and repetitive job for their whole life. Maybe find a retarded woman and pop out some kids, maybe not. You can be a functional member of society while being an inch away from non-sapience
>>62625584just look at John McCain
>>62628887It's been proven multiple times that McCain fighter wasn't the one that had the accident. It's really telling to me how the bottom feeders of the internet, Russians and /pol/niggers can't stop shitting on a great man's memory. Like how the white witch forces have to keep humiliating Aslan, because their fear of him, his legacy and his goodness is absolute.
>>62625944That's a very concerning one, he had been treated for suicidal tendencies before, ruled unfit as a pilot by a doctor several times and was eating prescription drugs that should have excluded him from flying, but because of German privacy laws Germanwings didn't have access to his medical records.
>>62627738it's funny, any image of the wives of fighter pilots you see has them all being kinda homely. even russian ones. it's almost like fighter pilots generally go for stableish long term relationships with women who are mature enough to put up with them doing such long hours and time away from home.half of them are still hot as fuck mind you, but not like "omg a fighter pilot omg omg" thot tier hot. they're just attractive, smart women.
>>62625584There are many stupid and destructive things you can do in your everyday life. Walk across an old lady? You can punch her for laughs. Drive a car? Speed into oncoming traffic. At the end of the day these things rarely happen, and a person who does this is quickly disqualified from doing many things (if not outright disqualified from living).It's not impossible (another anon mentioned Germanwings Flight 9525), but the chances that someone would become a fighter pilot, not being filtered out by the effort required in addition to mental health checks, and then do an epic meme are very low.
