How valuable is a pilot?

Two rednecks walk into a military recruiter and say they want to to join and help the country. The recruiter asks the first redneck, what he can do. "I am a pilot" was the response. "Wonderful! We are always needing pilots" the recruiter says. "Sign right here and we will set you up"!

The other redneck responds "I am the best and fastest wood chopper in the county"! The recruiter thanks him for coming in but lets him know that the military doesn't need woodchoppers. The redneck says "well that just shows how stupid you Washington people are. You tell my buddy that he is needed because he is a pilot, but he can't pilot until I chop it"!
