Wednesday, July 18th 2012: The House of Representatives votes to continue spending millions of dollars for our our military to back sports in order to attract recruits.
What this means is that when we have a deficit and billions of dollars of military spending, they are going to spend 72.3 Million dollars to plaster their insignia on top of race cars. They are doing this in order to encourage people to volunteer.
The other advertisers are doing this in order to get people to spend money. That spent money which is then used to fund the advertising. You know who is funding this advertising? Yup, that would be us. There is no monetary benefit to this advertising, and do they really believe that it matters to people who want to serve our country whether or not Jr. has NATIONAL GUARD on his hood?
You couldn't cut that in half to run the ARMY OF ONE commercials a few more times?
Throw in that they did this when the Army is targeted to shrink by 100,000 over the next few years?
Do you know why they are doing this? They are doing this becuase it is political suicide to appear to be unsupportive of the military and these politicians are more interested in keeping their jobs than they are in doing the right thing.
