Anyone that feels this is an appropriate use of our Defense allocated tax dollars should review their 2002 1040 tax forms.

Actually...I reviewed the federal budget instead and really couldn't find ANY problem with $200,000 for providing Armed Forces personnel for an extremely inexpensive form of entertainment compared to the tens of billions (maybe hundreds of billions) that go to unproductive citizens of this country. I'm willing to pay taxes to give a little entertainment to the ones who defend my freedom and liberty. I am NOT willing to pay taxes to educate someone else's child, provide food for someone's family or pay for a ponsi scheme retirement scam that Congressmen and Senators convienently aren't partaking in.

or given to the family of a soldier killed in action

This is what life insurance is for, right?
