I think it's important to not blur the lines of Equestria and Earth to far. Equestria obviously has seen a lot of conflict form emotion eating parasitical insect horses to a reality warping god, but on the otherhand Equestria's track record for war and military campagains is so unbeleivebly small that it pushes on the edge of realism. While there have been groups such as the E.U.P. this group and the wonderbilts themselves saw very little action since the thousand years from Nightmare Moon to the present since the Sirens had already been removed. Let's not get to deep in metaphors, the Wonderbolts are a stunt group. Plain and simple. Whileone can draw lines from the Wonderbolts to present day militart groups the fact is that a thousand years without a single militiristic campagain worthy of noting leaves the Wonderbolts looking out of practice at best. 8/10 times the Wonderbolts are shown racing, doing stunts, and showing off in formation. I can only name 2 times I can remember the Wonderbolts actually taking on a serious threat and both times their enemies wiped the floors with them. I don'think that Wonderbolts can really been taken seriously as a concrete analogy for the military and even more repulsive is that they would stoop to hazing no less if one whats to keep up any professional image.
