:I don't know exactly how these things are funded, but I would guess that the budget for the Angels and other demo teams comes out of the recruiting budget. It is up to the Military to decide the best way to spend their money, and if they think it helps to have these demo teams, then they probably also have facts and figures to back it up. --] 19:49, 11 October 2005 (UTC) :I don't know exactly how these things are funded, but I would guess that the budget for the Angels and other demo teams comes out of the recruiting budget.

Grammer

Part of the article reads as follows:

This reorganization permitted the establishment of a commanding officer vice a flight leader, added support officers, and further redefined the squadron's mission emphasizing the support of recruiting efforts.

What the heck does 'vice a flight leader' mean? If i even knew what it was supposed to mean, I would make an edit myself, but i'm lost. --Measure 21:36, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

Critics

Does anyone know of any criticisms like that they are a waste of tax payer money or something? Mbisanz 00:24, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

I don't know exactly how these things are funded, but I would guess that the budget for the Angels and other demo teams comes out of the recruiting budget. It is up to the Military to decide the best way to spend their money, and if they think it helps to have these demo teams, then they probably also have facts and figures to back it up. --Measure 19:49, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm sure there's also those in favor of them, that say that they inspire awe and other things like that. They do do some pretty cool stuff. I don't think it's a waste of money myself. There's other things in the government that are bigger wastes of money. *Cough* Bush Administration *Cough* TotalTommyTerror 17:31, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
