Well now, looks like even the military will blame the pilots when they need an out.
"So did an instructor pilot and a student pilot in June 2013 after their two-seat F-16 hit several birds during takeoff from Luke. The jet crashed in a farm field.
An Air Force investigation report said the instructor pilot was at fault because he made a rapid climbing turn after the bird strike, robbing the plane of airspeed and the ability to recover and return to the base."
Never mind two pilots saved and flying the jet to a safe crash location after a catastrophic bird strike...... It was all the pilots fault. Ingesting a flock of birds was completely avoidable immediately after take off and he should kicked that ***** sidways and daintilly dropped it back on the airfield..
