      Been a while I didn’t watch one of his videos, but I remember some US military stuff on there and I thought it was an interesting view from someone I think is smart but clearly doesn’t share my political leanings.

      Trying to not be in an echo chamber and all.

      Important to note that I don’t live in the US.

          He lives in Huntsville, Alabama. 95% of his neighbors are defense contractors. It isn’t sponsorships, it’s “this guy lives 40 feet away from me and does something interesting for a living”

              Not exactly a new tactic. Same thing for Top Gun and probably a bunch of other movies. Part recruitment, part public relations to improve their image.

              But the military does have some neat tech that most people won’t ever see. Like his series in the submarine, there was a lot of really cool.
