Of course they can sing the National Anthem but I'd prefer it if it wasn't done with a bunch of soldiers around. I grew up in a communist country and I understand the psychology behind what they are doing all too well.
Wow, do the Krafts really have that kind of clout? That's incredible.
Also, that plane is a thing of beauty. I have always been fascinated by the toys that our military, especially the air force, has to play with. That thing is absolutely beautiful.
It was the USAF by the way.
Cool flyover - would love to see them fly over Indy before kickoff.
I did too, but then I left MA for NH

I know I haven't seen what you've seen from your background. I can only speak from growing up in the US.
I don't find pride in one's country, or volunteer army, to be anything to shy away from. I don't see it as coercive, in a manner of advertising. Having a military is sort of a "fact of life". We can't exactly turn a blind eye to it. I'd much rather see it proudly represented and respected than treated as something less than desireable.
It seems to me that you have a problem with those giving them their orders, than those carrying out the orders?
FYI, in my son's class, ages ranged from 18 - 35 (he is 25). I think it is not what one thinks that the military is primarily made up of 18 y/o's unable to think for themselves.
