US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staffβs home, according to a watchdog report
I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Another word you might use for it is "looting".
"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

This is why teaching both sides of history is important. Not this glorified βAmerica is the worldβs Saviorβ nonsense.
Isnβt the last American βregime changeβ in Iran in 1973 largely responsible for Iranβs sentiments towards USA since?

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) speaks to reporters after attending a closed door briefing with Senate Armed Service Committee at the U.S. Capitol Building on March 10, 2026 in Washington, DC. The committee held the briefing to hear from officials on "Operation Epic Fury" and the ongoing U.S.-Israel conflict against Iran. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images)
Elizabeth Warren: βFor the Trump administration to say over & over, there's no money for healthcare β there's no money for childcare β there's no time to pay attention to how families are paying more β but there's a billion dollars a day to go to the Middle East & drop bombs on Iranβ

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.
But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?
They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.

3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

A group of us in the Senate are demanding public hearings on Trump's disastrous war with Iran with Secretary Hegseth and Rubio. And we've introduced a half dozen war powers resolutions to force the Senate to vote every day on the war if the hearings don't happen.

Seems to me, when you are illegally attacking foreign countries and assassinating or kidnapping their leaders, would be the absolutely worst time to downsize the administrative support system of the military. Unless you are weakening it in hopes of a terrorist attack.
