But this is going too far.  The parachute drop Wednesday is designed to impress students with soldiers\u2019 braveness and toughness.  It is unfair that the students, who believe we should work harder to create peace than we do to fight wars, will be forced to sit through a pro-military display of power designed to encourage youth to join the military.  Citizens should call the school district and demand the jump be canceled.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s great that VFP doesn&#8217;t give students or their parents credit for being halfway smart or able to make their own decisions based on commonly accesible information.
