British citizens recruited for US ARMY?

I'm a big motorcycle race fan, as such I go to several web sites for my news and updates. Since 'Motorbike' (as you Euro's like to call it) racing is WAY more popular in Europe than the US, a few sites I visit for this info are based in Great Britain and while I was on this site:

MCN Motorcycle News UK | MCN

I noticed the big banner ad was displaying a message about High School Drop-Out prevention and was sponsored by 'The American Ad Counsel' and 'The US ARMY'.....

Ok now why the need to spend the money for this kind of a message on a European web site? Would American's be visiting this site enough to justify this? Or is this just as simple as the host can tell that I am viewing the site from an American IP addy and is putting American Ad's for American visitors to the site and I am just and idiot trying to make something more out of this than it really is?

sorry man, you were right the second time. We can tell that you are viewing from the States and we do serve US only advertising which is collected from a US agency.
We actually get quite a lot of US traffic, at times as much as 30-40% so it is well worth us doing.
