Not only is this guy advertising where he shouldn't, but he won't sell to
our military overseas. What do you think our response should be?

Here's my response: your note reminds me of several urban fables about
big US commercial outfits that would not give to military charitable
drives etc., etc. that have been going the rounds for about two years,
Even if they were true, which they aren't, according to Snopes etc.,
- it would leave a slightly bad taste in my mouth - what does the
military want to do: nuke anybody who does not give generously to a
charity drive or want to sell to them etc., etc?
The military is there in part to uphold our freedom. And THAT means
the freedom to act like a jerk without big brother getting unduly bent
out of shape, or getting added to a list of Nixon style enemies....
