I'd assume that has something to do with a broke a$$ government...I really never have figured out why the millitary sponsors cars anyway???

Its gets more attention than just putting out flyers and billboards. Makes sense to me. You don't hear about the National Guard getting out of it, or the Army, all though I believe Army is changing sponsors. Coast Guard sponsored a Busch team a few years ago and the Marines have on certain weekends I believe. Air Force is still with the Wood Brothers also.

Each branch receives X amount of money for advertising and this is a smart way for them to do it.

I'd say more will drop out if we get a dem in november, they ussually take a big whack out of the military budget

But that ends up taking away from munitions and other equipment. Not necessarily recruiting budget.

if i'm not mistakin the recruiting budget droped the entire time big bill was in
