“That military tribute you saw at your last pro ballgame — a service member's stirring rendition of "America The Beautiful," a surprise "welcome home" celebration for returning troops, a soldier's ceremonial first pitch — may not have been a charitable gesture by the home team.
Instead, that event may have been paid for by the Pentagon, part of a multimillion-dollar program to promote the armed services and boost recruitment through patriotic events, game tickets, player appearances and other perks.
That initiative was detailed in a Senate report released Wednesday that described the spending as "inappropriate and frivolous" and criticized the Department of Defense for failing to disclose and keep track of such deals.”
