Just my view on it.

That view is a modern liberalistic view, not old fasioned. Old fasioned loves this kind of stuff.
In case anyone forgot, this is the first generation in history where the men where not brought up and taught either to shoot a rifle or use a sword. Look how disrespectful we have become as a result!

I'll go along with Subman. But in all reality the Blue Angels are a plane show. Air ballet if you would. It is not a show of arms at all. I have never seen sidewinders on the aircraft they use. They could use piper cubs for the show. Makes no matter as these are precision fliers, not the guardsmen showing their wares.
