Is your opposition to NASCAR sponsorship or military advertising for recruiting purposes in general?

My opposition is to the Federal government spending money it does not have for items it has no Constitutional power to do. Given that we are 100% in deficit spending, and are creating 100% of the money the government runs on, I should think it's time to put the frivolous spending aside for a while. Don't you think we can do without ONE YEAR of Army NASCAR advertising without destroying the entire US Army? I do.

And besides, where in the Constitution does it say we must continuously recruit for a standing army? The Founders were against standing armies, and considered them evil. I think a National Guard type system is Constitutional, where "militias" (which is what the Guards really are meant to be) are called up to respond to national threats.

If we don't get back to the Constitution and pare the FedGov down to size, it will eat us.
