Pete Hegseth wants $50,000 from the government to repaint his house

Paywalled.
Better version. https://www.military.com/daily-news...ve-military-family-housing-lawmakers-say.html


Years ago our company had the contract for handling overflow service calls for a lot of military housing installations. I had to increase the number of work items someone could include in a single call because on move-in because there was usually 20+ major issues that needed fixing. Military housing has to be god awful. Never had the pleasure of experiencing it myself, but listening in on some of those calls, I pity those wives that usually dealt with it all.
 
lol, spin that security angle. Meanwhile, everyone’s getting in on the graft. Think Hegseth’s free housing ploy will cross president musk’s cost cutting desk?

Oh, and the article link @Lathanar1 provided noted the poor housing conditions needing significant repair that many military families are living in. Trump redirected funds meant for needed repairs to his vanity wall project. We all know what he thinks about military personnel.

Somehow I doubt anything DOGE is doing will lead to significant cuts in defense spending.
