What? These guys are willing to chase Corillian Tramp Freighters into
Asteroid Belts and continue to fight even though over 65% of their
squadron
is dead due to smashing into flying rocks!

I believe by this point, the fighters had come under fleet remote
control;
if you look closely, you can see the pilots scratching on the cockpits
screaming for a course reversal. ;->=
Seriously, brave and dumb CAN go together, though most air arms try to
wash
such folks out before they damage perfectly good craft. Perhaps turkey
dogfighting with a morale bonus, or least, no morale penalty?
And, if you want a REAL condemnation of Lucas, check out David Brin's
comments in a recent SciFi channel rag. And I thought *I* needed to cut
back on the coffee! ;->=
