So you’re comparing theft, to flight time that is required by law to be maintained by pilots. Good to see you’re being reasonable.

  Flight hours consumed by thought bubble bs don't do anything to achieve readiness. Pilots hate being cannon fodder in exercises, their disdain for this level of rubbish is extreme. People are routinely convicted or given poor discharges because of much smaller thefts, like inaccurately claiming living allowance. Using NG combat aircraft for distinctly political purposes is far worse than theft.

    Equating this with theft is disingenuous at best. Any hours in the air are a net gain for a pilot. Period.

      "Worse than theft" != "Theft" Using the military for partisan political purposes, specifically surveillance and intimidation of political demonstrations.

        Although I agree in principle with you, no action against citizens was actually committed. The jet didn’t do any spying. As for your “worse than theft” comment: “By your logic I could steal $10k from your bank account” That’s you, equating this issue, with theft.
