I was not looking to “win” but it was a genuine question as to your objection.

I fully agree fedzilla is spending our money on things they have no legal authority to do. All foreign aid for example.

I just could not fully understand if on this issue the objection was to NASCAR or Advertising in general. If it was just to NASCAR I would have to disagree as according to the Military they are getting the biggest bang for the buck from that venue.

If on the other hand your objection is to military advertising in general that is worthy of honest and civil debate. IMO, if advertising dollars were fully cut off, then another method would be required for recruiting and I would not be in favor of the draft.

Nor am I. I think that is another unconstitutional thing we have done. I mean, if we have freedom of association, how can the state compel us to its service? It doesn't make sense.

When there is a need, Americans step up voluntarily, so there is no need for a draft. My uncles volunteered for WWII and Korea (Dad couldn't; flat feet). I tried to sign up after 9/11, but they didn't want me (too old)).
