Do you think some people take American Patriotism too far

[Minimalist]

Personally I can't stand 'corporate patriotism.'  The Yankees always play "God Bless America" during the 7th inning stretch and I mute it because I hate that fucking song.  But I was really surprised when this report came out which puts everything into perspective.

Pentagon Paid Sports Teams Millions For 'Paid Patriotism' Events

In the past few years, the Pentagon spent $6.8 million to pay for patriotic displays during the games of professional sports teams.
That's according to a joint oversight report released by Arizona Republican Sens. John Flake and John McCain on Wednesday.
The senators found that since 2012, the Pentagon has signed 72 contracts with teams in the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League, and Major League Soccer that amounted to "paid patriotism."

Propaganda from the military-industrial complex.
