[MilCom] Blue Angels

[Roger Strohmeyer]

The sad part about a tragedy like this is that it brings out the
anti-military sectors of the political spectrum who want to stop all
displays of military might, especially air shows.

If these people have their way, say good-bye to not only air shows,
but fireworks displays etc.etc.
