This logic is full of inconsistencies with the broader AF message (unsurprising we know, business as usual fir big blue).
First Orm is used to compare to an ALR (acceptable level of risk) that varies based on the strategic or tactical value of the mission which in the case of TIB would be so low as to require the unit to follow basic DOT regulations.
Second when 29Bs and High risk activity sheets are rampant for the most basic of activities and the most simply trained individuals this voids the idea that it is due to "highly trained crewmembers and a valuable asset critical to the defense of the nation."
Finally, and most importantly they are driving in peaceful countries, including the US!
