Those Navy folks have some mighty tasty chow also.

x2, Tom

ok the troops earned their $7M in lobster and 15 M in steaks.

Care to explain this?

High-end non-food items were also on the list, including:

$98,329 Steinway & Sons grand piano for an Air Force residence

$225 million in furniture, featuring individual chairs costing nearly $1,900

$12,540 for fruit basket stands

$5.3 million on Apple devices

I'd bet there ain't many of those that are complaining about our troops getting a good meal that would have guts enough to say anything to our troops' faces.

Or…wouldn't be willing (let alone brave enough) to trade places with them either!

Don't leave us hanging Wolfie! What does it mean?

Usually means some kinda bad news is ok the way most commonly a deployment to a " fun" place

Let's talk about these things called " government contracts" lol

In cooner--this post was meant to thank those protecting us. I asked that politics not be brought into this. For that reason--beware of what you post on here.

Tom

Tom, I completely agree with you. I have NO problem with my tax dollars being spent to provide those protecting our freedom and making sacrifices with a GOOD meal. After all, much more of my tax dollars are being spent on those that do nothing for the betterment of this country and are only a drain on our social programs. Hopefully they were provided some FINE cocktails to go along with their meal too. I tip my hat to anyone that wears or has worn a US uniform.

Thanka Wolfie. I can't believe I had never heard that before.

Like the old saying either you stand behind and support our troops or you can feel free to stand in front of them !

Enjoy and thank you one and all for keeping us out of harms way !

Anyone who attacks the troops is a low life. I however have no problem at all with anyone criticizing the politicians and their cronies calling the shots.

Should be only the best for those men and women who are putting their lives on the line in harm's way. May God bless you all and keep you safe!

yup

It called the use it or loose it government $$$ and goes on every year for last 50 years.
