Know why?

I'm starting to play a game and of course here comes the ad. The ad is the reason for the question. Does anyone know the US Marines would be running an ad on a AARP game?

maybe they are reaching out to the 18 and up crowd vs the retired crowd

You are in the wrong area of AARP to be looking for an answer to this issue.

I'm not sure where you need to go to get an answer from AARP!

My point was why is the Marines wasting money on an ad with AARP? I don't know if AARP would turn down anyone who wanted to advertise on this site.

[Sunday 3/16/25] I agree with you @BtW751689 !!! 👍 Gone are the days when AARP was Age 50+. NOW their "focus" is on their Age 18+ Members. Which is fine IF they DONOT forget us OLD folks.

[Sunday 3/16/25] @papawofboo , what AARP and the Marines DO NOT realize is that Age 18+ have no interest in AARP. They really need to RETURN to what they had = when they cared about people. All about money now. Sad!!! 👵

It does seem the ad is somewhat misplaced. Maybe they were relying on the influence of a wise grandparent. I sure did listen to mine. They sometimes had more time for us. Sure do miss em!
