Parades and airshows have no effect on military readiness

Yeah - like we were really ready for Sept. 11th.

Do you believe that parades and airshows are a detriment to readiness?

I just wish they would have parachutes available on commercial planes now - an evacuation like in the movie "AIR FORCE ONE"...amazing how so many movies like that and "Executive Decision" were ahead of their time or did hollywood know something in advance of 9/11?

If over done, yes!

Becasue of the malfeasance of Sept. 11th, I believe we should eliminate all air shows until we win the war on terrorism.

Also we should sharply curtail military parades, until we have a real victory.
