Yes, we do.
None here is making the claim that pilots arent on the receiving end of back troubles or that the medical attention they are receiving isnt well deserved. We do find it somewhat funny that its pilots who are getting the "special" treatment when Infantrymen and SOF (ground guys) have had the troubles for years and no one seemed to care.

And yes, we all know you guys wear armor, however there are physiological differences between sitting in it and running and gunning in it.
