No, I didn't say that, don't twist my words.
I said you can recruit 400 extra pilot into the force, that can be from anywhere, the example I gave an example of you can recruit those who retired from service. Was it the only way? No, there are other way, you can increase the Pilot Cadet intakes, you cna recruit from within the branch, and you can recruit from reserve force, depends on pilot to plane ratio, it seldom 1 to 1, usually 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 so you can rotate the pilot.
On the other hand, not everyone retired when they reach 65, I don't know the rules in Taiwan, but in the US, you can retire from the service after 20 years, which means I joined up when I was 23 (actually 19 but that's ROTC) I can be retired when I am 43. And not all pilot are "retired" some were just separated, which mean you sign up for a job and no longer want to do them after several years.
So I don't know why you think you need to argue where 400 extra pilot come from, or do you really think Taiwan, as an island of 24 million people, can't find 400 pilot to fly F-16? If they do, then they have a bigger problem then the Chinese.
Dude, you are missing the point,
You ask will American demine in a warzone that they are neutral, the name of the unit is pointless, you are talking about what the American will or will not do, not whether or not what kind of name they will go into a warzone.
US navy ship, or whatever name they wanted to be called, will be a US flagged ship and shooting at a neutral country ship is an act of war, regardless what name they use in that action, as long as they weren't called ROC Navy.
