I guess I am approaching this a little differently. While I can agree that selling war a product is problematic to say the least, the matter still stands that the government is always trying to sell their policies. Everything from no-smoking campaigns to the farm bill and back again. Some of the policies are easy to agree with... some are not.
There are politics in all of these issues, just not on the same scale.
Where and how does one draw the line when it comes to the government "selling" it's position on things?
I am pretty sure I would draw my line so that it doesn't include special access to ex-military officers and curtailing access to those who don't tow the party line. I am pretty sure I would draw it even tighter than that. However, it is really not a matter of what I think but what the law thinks and I am not sure this has been an illegal act. It might be but I am not sure.
