… yeah, they’re kinda neat… but $755 million worth of “neat”? I dunno.
And we all know that the $755 million really means $1 billion++, right?
Isn’t it time to put circuses like these to bed for good… at least those being paid for from the public purse? I know that there are many who think that symbols are important… especially those connected to the military. I’m not one of those people, but I respect the views of those who do hold these points of view.
But at what cost? Is there a limit? One billion? Twenty billion?
What do you think?

I’m ex military, air force, and some people I went to university with were snowbirds pilots…
… but I think it’s a waste of money that could be better spent improving the life of the soldiers: improve their equipment, help their families, improve the training, etc.
I’ve never been super enthused about the Snowbirds.
