Our position: Playing host to Marine training exercises is a small sacrifice for city.

U.S. Marines know quite a bit about sacrifice. They leave behind their homes and families, endure physical and emotional hardships and risk their lives to protect the nation and its citizens.
Keep that in mind in coming days if you have to wait in traffic for a few minutes or hear a little extra noise because a contingent of Marines is conducting training exercises in the city.
The training poses little risk to residents, and any inconveniences caused by practice patrols, mock vehicle stops and other exercises likely will be minimal.
The Corps has successfully completed similar training in other urban areas, although not without controversy.
That, unfortunately, also is the case in Indianapolis. A few residents protested the training on Friday, arguing that the drills will disrupt activities in city parks and asking why urban areas were selected instead of upscale suburbs.
