Putting on the Blues jumpsuit for the first time was one of the proudest, if not THE proudest moment of my young life up to that point. It was recognition that I performed at a superior level to my peers.
Like most keyboard warriors you talk out of your rear like you're some knid of expert on subjects you know nothing about, having zero first-hand experience in that realm.
You can take your ignorant comments about a "gay circus" and stick it where the sun don't shine, pal. Get back to me after you've done a tour with the Blues or T-birds for 2 years and survived to talk about it - like you would ever be selected in the first place. Phhfffftt...

I really don't care how wonderful you felt in your blue jumpsuit. You weren't doing anything to improve our combat capabilities. Airshows use finite airframe hours, consume expensive repair parts, waste finite fuel, cost millions in operations, maintenance, and TAD. How well the aircrews prance to their aircraft isn't a measure of combat proficiency.
As far as things go, I can guarantee that I have a lot more combat time than you do. The role of the military services is killing people efficiently and getting our own people home, not entertaining grandma.
