Why at the end of Army Recruitment Videos does it say "Paid for the the US Army"?

At the end of Army and other military recruitment advertisements they have listed as their sponsor: "Paid for by the US Army". Armies of yesteryear used to seize everything from their vanquished enemies, their gold, their possessions and their women. Those are the days when the armies actually made money. But our army doesn't make money, they just spend it. They get it from us, the taxpayers. So why aren't taxpayers getting the credit for the ads? We paid for them.

Note: This isn't an 'I support the troops' moment because it has nothing to do with how you feel about the military. It has everything to do with the way the US Army is funded.

I called the US Army several times but I have yet to receive an answer to my valid question. I know it doesn't matter who gets credit for the ads, but if it says "paid for by the US Army", then the army needs to start invading tiny countries with lots of wealth and taking their money. They could start with Switzerland and get trillions in cash and gold. We don't need a reason to go to war anymore. Switzerland poses more than ten times the threat to the US than Iraq did.

Am I in the 'Army of One' on this issue?

BTW: I am not against the US Army. I am an Army veteran.

knows it wasn't corporate sponsored? There's been so much in the news about the ScoTUS deciusion the allow corps to contribute $$ or sponsor ads for their interests and many people are very upset with that decisioh, I think the Army was just making sure none of that $$ went to sponsor that ad.

If they refuse to cite the real sponsor of the 'ads' then they should at least list all of the soldiers who died in wars. Without them there would be no army and no advertising...

They have a budget department too!

People don't think it was paid for by Halliburton.

Can't cite the exact regulation but the Army wouldn't add that bit unless the law required that they do so.

Besides, if it said "Paid for by your tax dollars," it would discombobulate some our good friends amongst the Tea Baggers. They'd have to add another loop to their pretzel logic that would make it all right for TV commercials to be paid for with tax money, but feeding or caring for our own citizens isn't all right. The poor dears are already burdened enough.
