Background: I attended the Air Force-Utah football game at the academy last Saturday. I had a great view of the scoreboard. I noticed the scoreboard sponsors included the usual:beer, bank, fast food, etc. Last week I posted a bumper sticker about better funding for education and the military having to raise funds for new armaments. Here is what came from that thought.

How about Budweiser who spends billions on advertising sponsoring an aircraft carrier. Can you imagine how happy the pilots would be when they landed and thought about a cool Bud waiting for them. It might even take their minds off the bullet holes. Coors could sponsor a couple of battle ships. They wouldn't be sailing on Rocky Mountain Spring Water but it's water nonetheless. Maybe GM and Ford would sponsor some Humvees and tanks. All the Arabs in the Mideast would create a new market for Lincolns and Caddys. I don't think liquor sponsors would go over well with certain area religions but cars, Remington rifles, paint, plants, and certain clothing lines may go over. Imagine a gum sponsor for bazookas. With the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" military policy, I don't think Dairy Queen would go over well with the services. Just an idea to help balance the budget.
