Allowing them to use resources and them "paying" are two vastly different things.
Also being in the military there are several organizations that hire people like me both retired and active to play in movies and consult.
Myself and 4 of my other Marines were in Pearl Harbor. We had to take vacation time for it and were not allowed to be billed as being part of the military. There is no endorsement whatsoever. We just happened to have a job. I was also given a spot for the show VIP with Pamela Anderson but umm yeah didn't even bother showing up to that
Take off the "I hate the government" pin from your punk leather jacket and take a hit of reality.
