I just read this news and it absolutely disgusted me. If this is indeed true, it is a total waste of tax payer money, and a betrayal of trust and patriotism towards our men and women in uniform.
Nice try, everyone. But if you are going to FAKE it and PAY FOR IT, we would rather NOT see or hear it.

I think this is a misconception. These things are designed as recruiting events, specifically for the Army, not to honor troops. The perception may be honor, but the intent is to put the name and uniform of the Army out there. The NFL isn't being paid to honor troops, they are being paid to use their field and TV time.

If this has been the process in the past and it can be proven that it results in new enlistments, it could be worth it. However, that is giving way too much credit to the DOD. You can bet that most of these contracts are given to companies that will hire the same people that authorize the spending.

I read the report and do not think DoD should be paying this money. These sports teams should do it because it is the right thing to do.
