And who pays for the DOD?
I'd wager the Average Joe Taxpayer is shelling out millions for this team.

as far as I know, each branch of the military has a budget for recruitment and the money comes out of that. The coast guard, navy, airforce and marines all sponsor, or have sponsored, cars. It must be a productive recruitment method or they wouldn't do it. no different than a tv commercial.

I'm sure it does come from advertising budget...which is funded by the US taxpayer. 5 Million of which are Muslims.

Thats Exactly it. The Military is run just like a business, they have a marketing Budget just like any other company. just look at all the commercials on TV.....I doubt the networks are giving them free Air Time. |

To be honest, before today I had no idea that each branch of our military had a car.
Has it been this way for a long time?
The are a lot of house hold names on the cars, like home depot, 3m,dupont, GM,bud ect.......
All of those are private or corporate owned companies,
us army, coast guard, ect are not companies, so something about that seems wrong!

Wether they pay to advertise by sponsering the car, or pay to advertise via commercials on the radio or TV, who cares?? Its all the same.
