We can debate military spending, but I personally don’t think it’s a scandal that troops overseas were given steak and lobster a few times last year. Earlier today, it was released that the military spent money on crab, steak. Dems thought it was going exclusively to Hegseth, but reporters corrected the record and confirmed it was spent on providing Us troops surf and turf once every month

Every political type railing on this needs to have their expenses reported. Hypocrites.

In 18th-century colonial America, particularly Massachusetts, lobster was considered a, "low-class" food, often referred to as "cockroaches of the sea". It was so abundant, cheap, and commonly fed to indentured servants and prisoners that they famously revolted, leading to agreements limiting its consumption to three times a week

Hegseth spent $93 billion in one month – roughly the cost of extending the ACA tax credits for THREE YEARS.


Release details of the Congressional slush fund and Handsome Pete may give you some time to

I as unaware Hegseth was authorized to spend money on the ACA.

That said, the spend it or lose it needs to be done away with.

Wait until you find out during Desert Shield we got steak and lobster catered in from British Airways for the entire 2900 troops pilots and support peeps. 25 hours later Desert Storm kicked off

Someone should have gone to prison for supplying a nice steak and potatoes.

Or some lobster

Before D-Day and other major battles wasn’t it common practice to give those guys steak and eggs? They always fed them well I thought if they were going to see combat or stationed in a shitty place like the Middle East where combat can literally kick off anytime.
