About two days ago...story pops up....DoD went and spent several million to buy lobster for the troops....getting the Democratic folks very peeved (waste of money).
I paused over it....pondering.
In my 22 years of Air Force time....there's only two occasions where the chow hall on base went to the extreme...serving lobster, or steak....both came after a base inspection. On both occasions...I selected the steak option....thinking I was getting a great rib-eye....but getting a three-quarters size steak.
Over the 5,000-odd times of using the chow-hall....I mostly ate 'cheaply'...meaning two grilled-ham-and-cheese for lunch, or two marginal chicken pieces for dinner.
An associate of mine who was deployed in the 2007 period....often commented about the full-year he spent in Iraq....where at least once a month....they had steak.
I doubt that the political folks have ever been in such a position...where they ate crap for several months at a time.
