I'm just saying that it was certainly not *that* good an investment. I imagine that a good chunk of the real value of the sponsorship accrued internally, making people who'd already signed up for the Guard feel better about having done so. Since motorsport attracts a young male audience, military recruiters have long sponsored teams/riders/drivers.
