The military should not be running ads anywher. We are broke.
Are you serious???
The Department of Redundancy Department wastes more in post-it notes than the US MIlitary spends on advertising in a single year...
The advertising is part of the enlistment program. It always has been. Without the ads, we get no new enlistees or we have to settle for substandard enlistees.
If we can't field a decent military, then the whole country is at risk.
While the advertising needs to be focused where it will due the most good for the money, NASCAR events is probably the best place to spend the money, since a substantial portion of our military recruits come from places where NASCAR is King.
They certainly should not be wasting advertising money by sponsoring Oprah, or the View or Masterpiece Theatre, however there is no doubt but that the military sponsoring NASCAR events is clearly advertising money that is well spent.
The military is voluntary.. if you dont’ market you don’t get recruits. Like it or not that’s reality.
We could always return to conscription and stop all military advertising tomorrow.
Wouldn’t not hiring the 15,500 new IRS agents for BaraqqiCare save even more money?
