Your original requirement was "better than human", not just "does more 
damage to the enemy than to themselves". Politicians are a lot more 
sensitive to people getting killed in accidents than they are to money 
being lost in accidents.

If 1% of your robot fighters crash every year, that's just a moderate 
increase in cost and you budget for it. If 1% of your manned fighters 
crash every year, killing everyone in side, that's enough to kill a program.
