"It brings in millions of dollars just on the merchandise but also millions to every community that pays to host the Blue’s and all of the other acts.

So it sounds as if you are arguing that the mission of the Navy is entertainment and revenue generation for communities?

It is a very worth while goal and have recruited many top pilots because they saw the Blue Angels perform at an airshow.

Then it should easily be demonstrated that: 1) this is a cost-effective method of recruitment and 2) it out-produces less expensive methods.

This seems like a fiscally conservative and accountable approach. I'm amazed conservatives oppose either of those.
