As much as it is MY money. The statement that the Boy Scouts are funded by you, through your taxes via the DoD is just plain trolling. Puh-
lease! Furthermore, our representational government implies that you and I have elected representatives to make these kinds of decisions. If you don't like it, trow da bums out.

Do. Or don't. But seriously, you should.

I reckon there's considerable affinity between the two organizations. They are structured similarly, they share very much the same values, and I believe that the Armed Services recognizes these things. I believe the chance to plant favorable seeds in fertile young minds for the cost of a base-wide drill can be easily justified as a recruiting expense.
