All together I think the number comes to nearly a 250 million between all sports. Yes, but the reason it's done is because blind patriotism sells. Though with how much money the military gets it's not a surprise they find ways to waste it just to make sure it's spent. If you really want to stop this aspect, we need to cut the military's overinflated budget to something that's actually reasonable. --- Aeris dies if she takes more damage than her current HP - Panthera http://signavatar.com/26999_s.png <cite>BLAKUboy posted [p:895174972] in What if we...
