Travelling will be extra :p


The Pentagon paid 14 NFL teams $5.4 million to 'salute troops' (http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/the-pentagon-paid-14-nfl-teams-dollar54-million-to-salute-troops/ar-BBjFQq9?ocid=iehp)

After a quick calculation, the NHL teams (US and Canadian) donated about $9million to veterans over the same period, with Military/Veterans Appreciations nights put on free (often including free tickets for some vets).

Remember that despite the $$$$B's that the NFL generates, it is still classed as a non-profit organization (no taxes)...go figure that one!


Fun reading!

It's an insult to those being used as marketing props and a deception to the nation. To the bitter end, integrity is expendible and comes with a price tag.

With the amount of padding those guys wear, I'm surprised they can lift their arms up.

Nutty,
I reckon you could double your fee by offering tuition to our cousins and probably treble it for giving advice to that fella oft seen jumping out of a chopper on his back lawn with his wife and couple of kids in tow. You don't return a salute when not wearing a hat.

I'll work for food! (In the right place of course, plus reasonable expenses (and I'll be the judge of reasonable)).;)

PP - I think our transAtlantic cousins do - watch any military/USAF/USN based movie.

You do when you are the US Commander in Chief. They're foreign - they can't help it.
