Dear Editor: An all too frequent component of Badger football games has become a flyover of military jets at low altitude. The UW regents should outlaw this practice for two reasons:
First, it represents a tragedy waiting to happen, with the potential for thousands of deaths. Recently the 26th Blue Angel to perish in a similar setting illustrated the inherent risks in military hardware near civilian areas.
Second, and more insidious, it is a jingoistic commingling of the military-industrial complex with athletic-regional pride.
