The news is probably inflating a few random comments to make it sound like every veteran hates everything, but here's a story KOMO did last year on a vet who doesn't want people to set off fireworks. https://komonews.com/news/local/veteran-with-ptsd-go-see-public-fireworks-display-instead-of-lighting-off-at-home

So there's at least one verifiable guy who says non-professional fireworks use should be banned so his PTSD isn't set off. Dunno how he feels about air shows.

Yeah, I don't doubt that . . . my earlier post was more about the word "triggered," and how it's more of a snowflake word than a veteran word.

Oh, yeah, no argument there. It's right up there with "outraged." Was the person really outraged, or did they just think it was stupid?

Agree completely. Unfortunately, too many that have moved here in the last decade have little interest for our history, and want to press their political beliefs on us. Regardless if we want the beliefs. You will be MADE to understand! Not.

What would be great would be a airshow duel between the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds.

Having returned to the area after a extended absence, I was wondering if the Navy still sent a ship down to Lakefair?

As I was driving through Seattle in my one ton dually diesel Silverado on my way to Precision Shooter to pick up reloading supplies I saw the Blue Angels flying around. I didn't realize I was supposed to be triggered. Maybe it was my concealed pistol that kept me calm as a Hindu cow, but I guess it could have also been the years of deployed time living right next to a flight line while jets took off every 30 minutes or so. Either way I'll be sure to freak the f@#$ out next time I hear a jet. Thanks for the heads up Seattle people.

You drive from Graham to Lynnwood for shooting supplies?

I had never been to that store so I wanted to check it out and give them some business. It was worth the drive, but I'll probably order my supplies online from now on.

Roger that, road trip

It just stuck out when I read your post, wasn't challenging you or anything

Found some great cockpit footage of the Blue Angels at Seafair. Irritating music notwithstanding, does a great job showing how strenuous many of these maneuvers are for the pilots.

WHY is it "Joint base lewis- mccord "now?


ya fuck seattle, spend more time in traffic then enjoying the show. Fuck stains still managed to ruin the south end traffic

There hasn’t been a ship down there for years!! I remember going on a tour of the USS Olympia decanted ago.
