I don't think there's a question that the pilots need training (I grew up in a pilot family, it's part of my life), but there should be a question about where and how. It's one thing to agree that the training needs to happen, it's another to assume that means every place they want to train is absolutely necessary for said training, or that all losses to our environment are acceptable in that pursuit. There needs to be an honest dialogue about that between civilians and the military, and right now there really isn't.
