Well you still leave me with the same question as you stated we could do with NASCAR advertising for a year.

So which is it? NASCAR or advertising for recruiting purposes.

You should know the numbers prove that advertising via NASCAR is 1/4 of their advertising budget BUT YIELDS 1/3 OF THEIR NEW RECRUITS. So NASCAR would seem to give the US Taxpayers more bang for their Military buck. Pun intended.

In fact, most advertisers have found NASCAR regardless of your opinion of them, to be one of their best advertising dollar investments.

If one the other hand you just want to stop all funding for recruiting then OK that is fine and something I could support given our financial position, assuming you have another method for recruiting which does not involve a draft.

By the way, the Military is one of the VERY FEW things the Constitution MANDATES and you might want to focus on things that are not MANDATED.

False dichotomy. It's not either-or, it's ALL OF THE ABOVE. I want the federal government to cut its spending across the board.

Look, I know the Constitution mandates a navy and raising armies. But it's beside the point.

I know I'm losing this argument because both the military and NASCAR are sacred cows. So I probably should just shut up about this.

You win! Have a happy weekend.
