So according to a post in b0st0n , the USAF flyover (of either four or five jets in formation; accounts differ) that liquefied bowels from raw fear throughout the city was part of a special "recruiting night" at Fenway.

I don't see why there's any need to hold back reminders to the locals of our own military might, especially at Red Sox games. I advocate a flyover of some cruise missles set to strike unpopulated targets in Greenland or Canada or something. Or, oo oo, nuclear airbursts in the exosphere directly over Fenway Park. That would be great. Can we do that? Maybe a whole pattern, make them spell "GO SOX"? Or just "USA" if that's too hard?

Wait, how a bout a night game when there's a new moon overhead... are you thinking what I'm thinking?

We have a similar military fly-by with F-15s during Madison's 'Rhythm & Booms' Indepencence Day event. Some city officials hate this 'display of aggresion'.

A bunch of people in that b0st0n list were saying how loud it was -- my guess is that they had afterburners on. They usually do that in the Madison show but this year they didn't

This bugs the crap out of me on so many levels. My neighbors were all standing outside last night after it happened wondering WTF it was. We recognized it as military aircraft by sound, but it didn't stop me from cowering away from windows in case they shattered.

Wanna know how desperate they are for fresh meat? The National Guard has run recruiting ads pushing "duty, honor, country"...in the city of San Francisco...on an all dance-music station. Some large percentage of the listeners wouldn't even be eligible to serve under "don't ask, don't tell."
