Advocacy groups say fighter jets and Santa don't mix

Advocacy groups say fighter jets and Santa don't mix

"DENVER (AP)- The U.S. and Canadian military will entertain millions of kids again this Christmas Eve with second-by-second updates on Santa's global whereabouts. But there's something new this year: public criticism.

A children's advocacy group says an animated video on the NORAD Tracks Santa website injects militarism into Christmas by showing fighter jets escorting Santa's sleigh. It's a rare swipe at the popular program, which last year attracted a record 22.3 million unique visitors from around the world to its website........."

I can remember watching Santa coming down from the North Pole in the early 60's. It was cheesy as all get out. Kinda' looked like a white cut out on a stick dancing around in front of a RADAR screen. But Hey! It was Santa.

Besides if NORAD can't pick up Santa how the heck can they be expected to pick up stealth bombers?
