I believe your analogy is flawed, because an infantryman needn't
possess the same depth of knowledge and skill in such a diverse range

training.

The minority of pilots correctly can run through every emergency
action blindfolded.

Any Armor PFC better know how to tear down, troubleshoot, re-assemble,
function check and fire an M-16, M9, .50 Cal, M-240, 102 MM Main Gun
Breech Block, Boresight, Repair track, and a few other tasks on the
Tank Crew Qualification prior to heading down range to qualify.

Infantrymen have more qualification (individual and collective) tasks.

As much respect and regard I have for pilots (I am one!), it doesn't
take a physicist or an engineer to adequately fly an airplane safely.

The Wright brothers invented flight with a meager elementary
education.
