Your Tax Dollars Paying For Army Arcades

Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

You have to sit through a five-second advertisement, but the news clip is short...and pointed. If you want to know where part of that MASSIVE military budget goes, watch this. You're paying for video games at the state fair. You're also paying for the army to recruit kids under 18 (legal age of enlistment), for data collection and doubtless for the advertisements and circulars they send to your house. As a tax payer, less of your tax dollars go to helping pay for prosthesis and physical therapy for disabled veterans than go to funding for new computers and electronic equipment for the Pentagon and other military bureaus nationwide.

Now, can I convince you to send me some money for a Wii? I want to try that boxing game. You know, to better understand how well trained boxers are.
