Haha they really dug around to justify this. Almost insulting, really. "Hey we really wanted this old loser Confederate general's name back, so we dug around and found we could use your old relative's name to TOOOOTALLLY make it not about being named after the ****** Confederate general."

I can tell you were not in the military post 9/11.

I can tell you posting a photo of a guy during covid doing what everyone was doing during covid vs an unqualified adulterer doing a clean or a press is disingenuous and has nothing to do with service or qualifications.

He was like 67 or so when he took on SecDef. Hardly a comparison to Biden. That said, this little gif shows his old ass doing more physical activity than Trump has ever exhibited.

Anyway, if we're going with age, old Felon should be disqualified, no?

Austin sold his soul and invalidates all of that.

To what?

Next I wanna see our troop's families off food stamps.

If you can't survive off $30k (E-2 pay a year) plus housing allowance, plus subsistence, plus free medical care, and a list of other items most families pay for (gym, entertainment, etc), then you have likely made some bad personal choices or have a huge family which again, isn't your employers responsibility.

It should be against regulations for anyone under E-5 to be married.

US State Department has budget line for 'Armored Teslas' worth $400 million

The US State Department’s procurement forecast for the 2025 budget includes an item called “Armored Teslas” worth $400 million. But...

electrek.co

Was initially added in 2022 and updated in Dec 2024 to remove "Tesla" from the item. Not a Trump admin thing

However I'm confident doge will see this unnecessary spend and cut it right away

Report: $151M in Food Money Collected from U.S. Soldiers Spent Elsewhere

Out of $225 million collected by the U.S. Army for a food program for soldiers last year, reportedly only $74 million went toward food.

www.breitbart.com

"The money collected is basically a “tax on troops” and is taken from their BAS payments, which are approximately $460 per month, according to the report. That money is automatically deducted from service members’ paychecks who live in barracks and is supposed to help cover food costs. The report notes that for junior enlisted troops who earn roughly $30,000 annually, “the cost can be consequential.”

For example, Fort Stewart, Georgia, obtained $17 million from soldiers but only spent $2.1 million on food, meaning 87 percent of food funds were redirected to other projects. In another case, Schofield Barracks in Hawaii collected $14.5 million but used only $5.3 million, meaning 63 percent of the money was funneled elsewhere.

“Stealing food money from our soldiers is not how we achieve military readiness,” Rep. Jul Tokuda (D-HI) told the outlet. “The fact that at least $151 million was collected from soldiers and not spent on food as required demands not just an immediate investigation, but swift accountability.”

The investigative report comes after another report of food shortages at Fort Carson, Colorado, where some soldiers said they had to eat a dinner consisting of lima beans and toast."

Service members told the outlet they have frequently been served unhealthy, unseasoned meals and undercooked meat, in addition to a lack of fresh, quality ingredients. The substandard food has led to fewer soldiers eating at the facilities, which subsequently has led to less money being spent on meals, according to the report."

Maybe I'm not following the article, but I read it as saying the Teslas were not being ordered, nor is there intention to do so.
