Airshows should be banned...Now!

My view, too dangerous and too expensive just to thrill a bunch of
overweight weenies. Military airshows, in particular, should be
banned and I mean banned immediately.

Air shows are dangerous and bad for the natural environment, a lot of
kerosene is burned.

Also, at a time when owning a civilian Hummer virtually makes you an oil
and pollution nazi in public opinion, not only citizens, but the
military should scale back its consumption of fossil fuel.

Well, I'm feeling a little light headed, so I'll just go and stand behind
this 747 and inhale some of that sweet clean air.

Actually, the air about 500 yards back from the 747 is probably fairly
clean, which is where you'll land after the engines power up.

Not if there's a blast fence behind the aircraft in which case there's a
question as to how many pieces will depart the body on impact.

I agree, nuclear power all the way. Actually what they burn is a drop
in the bucket. I'll tell you what, why don't you do you part and
shutdown all your utilities. Yeah, that's about what I thought. At
least the military is serving a purpose other than your own personal
convenience. Airshows are PR. PR gets recruits. Recruits allow you
to waste time looking down your nose from on high and consider things
other than basic survival.
