You lost me
In Sleepless, Scootaloo is now a honorary little sister of RD.
Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.
It's great to see RD get character development like that. Yes, she does want to be the best, but not at the cost of others. She'll make a good flight leader.
It's also good to see the show didn't restore the status quo at the end of the episode. On the downside, this might mean less RD later on.

But now, Rainbow is in the military, meaning that the combat effectiveness of the militia has improved. If anything gets too big, then Rainbow can request backup.

Nah, They'll just schedule episodes when Dashie is off-duty :V It's not like the Wonderbolts are forever on-call. Also Dashie hasn't gotten in in yet, she's just more likely to really get evaluated first.
The Wonderbolts have a terrible track record of doing anything useful.

Wonderbolts are mere stunt fliers. They haven't had true combat experience.
In a real war, the Wonderbolts are basically mincemeat.
In fact, the entire Equestrian military are fairly rubbish.

Do you think she'll end up joining the Wonderbolts in the finale? Of course if it's another Crystal Empire episode, probably not.

That's simply because the Princesses are Epic-level ex-Adventurers who rid the land of many Ancient Evils and enemy Empires, so now they just have a kingdom the look after.
Equestria has a military?

Mostly the military is mainly peacekeepers and ceremonial guard these days.
The military are just bouncers, basically.

@Syd One of those appears twice
My headcannon is that there is actually a fairly strong Equestrian military with some very skilled veterans, but it's mostly concentrated along one or two borders with more barbaric countries that aren't so receptive to diplomacy and they haven't seen much more than the occasional skirmish in the last few years so they're not in the news or on the general population's minds very often.
During the Changeling invasion, they were easily defeated despite being on high alert. The Wonderbolts were taken down in one hit by Spike.
Every emergency Equestria faces, the military fails, and it's either Celestia or the Ponyville Militia who has to put their necks on the line.
Quite frankly, I think I could take them on alone, with just a claymore, a dagger and about five Molotovs.

The Royal Guards just seem like, well, guards to me. I'm not really comfortable with the idea of the ponies having a military.

Bacon is played out. Sausage is what all the cool kids are nommin'.
There needs to be some kind of Deadliest Warrior program available.
Because I want to test five Lunar Guards versus five North Vietnamese soldiers.

Well at least I die in combat.

Whether or not I can take the Equestrian military head on.

New topic: What do you think each of Rainbow Dash's friends put in her care package?
Pronounced "Sid-zellia"
Fixed.
