<div>One of the motivations for male warriors to fight, historically, over thousands of years across many cultures (I am not saying this is current or past US military policy), has been access to the women of the society conquered. In the video below, it is suggested that access to the women of the culture doing the conquering, is a motivation for male warriors:</div>

<div>Well Bill, As far as the cost goes, I don't care. There is this thing called morale. It's an intangible thing, but extremely important to the Armed Services as well as the safety of our nation. I grew up in the Air Force. We all looked forward to the Thunderbirds show when the rotation of their schedule brought them to our current airbase. </div>
<div>The demonstration teams for all of the different services are "the best of the best of the best". These pilot slots are highly prized and sought after, and rightly so. As I'm sure anyone with any common sense can figure out, the training would go on without airshows, and does 24/7 for all of the branches. </div>
<div>Another aspect of the shows is for recruitment. Yes, I know, we shouldn't be recruiting anybody because the military is "evil". I disagree, particularly when it comes to pilots. I personally prefer to have a grey haired miltary veteran piloting the Boeings that I travel on.</div>
<div>The aircraft themselves cost $21 million each. I'll let you find the rest of your answers yourself.</div>
