I knew it was happening, but that is sickening to hear a number put to it.

But the wall is a wasteful expenditure
Our Government is no longer for the people

So now we're keeping lobster fisherman afloat like the Iowa corn farmers. Who's next?

Illegal immigration is also an insult to taxpayers, Rand.
Sad!

Facebook memes need to go away.
Check out who the majority purchaser of that stuff is: DoD.
Lobster is one of the few treats soldiers get when deployed (about once every other week). I would guess that’s where the majority of that number is coming from.

Too many discretionary funds. Take them away.

My happy arse never got lobster and I was in the Air Force.

That is getting close to the amount spent by SNAP card users on lobster each month.

Always heard about them but never actually saw them or got one myself... Maybe I was just unlucky but odds are I would have seen one if they were as common as you suggest...

Lets hurry up and blow this money so we can get more money to blow next year

Back yonder in the day, they would have it about once per week at the bigger bases (Victory, Taji, Anaconda, Balad, etc.). Lobster and steak night - we would time our rotations back in from the COPs on those nights to try to be there if we could. I saw it a few times in Kuwait as well, though not as often. ETA: I am also fairly sure submariners get stuff like that as a perk for being underwater for six months.
It's kind of expensive to get it to those places, obviously. If my math is right, $4.5M covers roughly 2 - 3X per month for a couple hundred thousand soldiers. That seems about right.

We used to be served this every friday (i think) in kandahar. I thought it was weird and didnt really want lobster when the place stunk like a literal cesspool.

We're at the point right now where I read the headline and my first thought was, "I'm surprised it is that little."
