Comment:  Growing the military business has been a strategic initiative of Polaris management and they have been able to execute on their plan. In their recent quarterly earnings report they noted that year over year sales for the military segment increased significantly. They have been helped in recent years by the strong expansion of the US Special Operations forces. They are also taking some of the technology developed for the military, like non-pneumatic tires, and bringing them into the commercial and consumer markets.
