That is way too many for me to feel OK about viewing their air shows as a form of entertainment.

The Blue Angels, like the Air Force and the Marines, don't fly for entertainment. Entertainment is just a bonus for the millions of civilians who enjoy watching their skill.

I suppose in a sterile world, they should only be allowed to fly when in actual combat.
That would work just great.

Let’s not kid ourselves, shall we? What the blue angels do isn’t training. If it were, we’d be losing 10% of Navy pilots across the board. But we’re not, thank God. You want to suggest that the rest of our Navy’s pilots are inadequately trained? My brother in law would take serious exception to that.
