Air Vice-Marshal David Walker put it to newly qualified pilots that they should think of flying suicide missions in a "worst case scenario" when a terrorist attack was imminent.
The head of the RAF's elite One Group who is in operational control of Typhoon, Tornado, Jaguar and Harrier fighters and bombers, is reported to have asked the pilots: "Would you think it unreasonable if I ordered you to fly your aircraft into the ground in order to destroy a vehicle carrying a Taliban or al-Qaida commander?"

I can imagine an Al Qaeda leader saying "would you consider it unreasonable if I ordered you to blow yourself up in a scenario where we have no airforce and no tanks?"
I don't know what to make of this; is it normal military training?
