U.S. Military Spends $500 Million on Bands

By Korben Dallas

Our Defense Department spends about half a billion dollars a year on bands. Go figure. I appreciate music as much as the next guy, but isn't that a little bit much? The Marine Corps spent $50 million last year on its military bands. The Army spends about $195 million a year on its bands. (Wash Post, 9/6/2010)
