There was some WW2 crap in the Pentagon when I visited a friend there fifty years after the sar ended. I can understand buying really good, ergonomic office chairs and desktops that permit the user to stand and work.

But lobster, ribeyes, etc is ridiculous. Not when vets can't get funding and people can't afford to eat.
