[You're] Joking right?

Not at all, I have thought for year that the Snowturds were an expensive
way to turn fuel into noise.

They turned my buddy, Bob Drake, into worm food.

I remain unconvinced that they serve any military purpose.

They MAY encourage recruitment for the military. That is debatable. What is
not debatable that they are a symbol for the military and for Canada in
general. Canada and Canadians need this. What is so hard to understand about
that?

How does it relate to force effectiveness? Anything that does not contribute
to the mission of the Forces of protect the interests of the Canadian state,
and I can find no way that the Snowbirds contribute to the mission, is
non-essential. Any non-essential activity that costs money should be cut.
