101st Indianapolis 500 - May 28th |OT| We Got Bigger Crowds than Trump's Inauguration

All this militaristic shit is INSANE.

Like, as a non-American watching this, it is actually unbelievable. It's like a parody of what the rest of the world thinks of America when we're exaggerating. But it's real.

It's Memorial Day weekend. We honor our fallen sons and daughters. So you'll see a lot of military this weekend.

Well it is Memorial Day weekend, a weekend to honor those killed in the line of service. It's a pretty big holiday and to have a big race on the weekend just kind of amps it up.

It's all over. Airports board military personnel and their family first, they're asked to stand up to applause at SeaWorld etc.

It seems like a lot coming from the UK, but it's deserved respect IMO.

This isn't the thread for this discussion but it really looks nuts to me. It doesn't even really strike me as respect so much as it is just jingoistic.

Anyway, looking unlikely for Alonso. :'(

It's memorial day weekend here.

But almost all major sports events have military fly over and things.
