That's possible but also remember that Kuwait is a gulf state monarchy. There's a really good chance that he's some over-eager Al-Sabah princeling who's less than qualified to be a fighter pilot.

I'm not sure if leaders or people in high political office anywhere in the world want their kids on the front lines; instead something to keep in mind is that no matter how loyal the average Arab is to their government (and in my experience most people here are loyalists), they still hate the American military nonetheless. Kuwait may be harder to read though as we DID fight on their side in the first Gulf war (although further atrocities down the line could easily sour anyone's opinion).

I was imagining someone from the extended house of Al-Shabah, not in direct line to the throne. I think that a royal family would be very concerned with loyalty when deciding who gets to be sky knights, and they don't have many to choose from.
