OK, here is a serious question about today's PR...
If AAFES is a "done deal," why would they float this out there? In other words, why would they promote the military offer through a non-AAFES service? Wouldn't they want to promote the military offer through their military partner?
Is it possible that AAFES wasn't a "done deal" and that it fell through? That this PR was intended to soften the blow of a follow up PR to come?
