408: Odious Debt
Operation Geronimo Commemorative Coin, Military Commercialization
A television infomercial is marketing a "rare commemorative coin" paying tribute to the SEAL Team 6 operation that killed Osama bin Laden. The $19.95 offer includes a "military briefing packet" with maps and operational details, which the hosts characterize as a tasteless commercialization of military events. The segment mocks the "limited edition" nature of the brass and gold-layered product.
