People want to sell their stuntmaking for profit? OK but the military doesn't need to have such expensive and risky extravaganzas just to show off.

It is recruitment and public support, as well as public awareness on the professionalism of its military. It would be stupid to pull the plug on shows such as this, and it is hardly daredevil - they are doign nothing to endanger themselves at all, nor the public. That is why they have been doing it for over 50 years with only a couple incidents - all of them due to inexperienced pilots.
