SmarterEveryDay (Highly suggest this video of the James Webb Telescope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu97IiO_yDI )
Honorable mention (because 'retired') Tom Scott
And because it's a good channel Dad How Do I?
Been a while I didn't watch one of his videos, but I remember some US military stuff on there and I thought it was an interesting view from someone I think is smart but clearly doesn't share my political leanings.

He lives in Huntsville, Alabama. 95% of his neighbors are defense contractors. It isn't sponsorships, it's "this guy lives 40 feet away from me and does something interesting for a living"
Not exactly a new tactic. Same thing for Top Gun and probably a bunch of other movies. Part recruitment, part public relations to improve their image.
But the military does have some neat tech that most people won't ever see. Like his series in the submarine, there was a lot of really cool.
