I personally like the romantic notion of the pilot sitting at home,
collecting royalties for his contribution to the expert systems, while
off
in another star system the wing commander is saying "we lost seven
fighters--uncrate three AttackBobs and four InterceptorFreds and get
them
ready to plug in".    Hemoglobin splattered on the canopy is messy.
