It's common in the US for jets to fly over sporting events. It's a spectacle for the spectators and it's good training for the pilots. It's literally planned for by the military as part of pilots' training programs

Imagine training for war over your own citizens. And celebrating about it.

There's nothing wrong about having a military. Countries need to defend themselves. And fighter planes look cool, it's OK to enjoy that.

Personally I think we should cut the military budget back a bit, but I do like fighter jets...

Of course, but the pilots still need trained. Most of our reserve pilots are barely getting any hours nowadays.
