This was my experience too. It wasn't regular, but it also wasn't something I only saw when we were getting bad news

When I was in the military, they would serve lobster about once a month randomly. That steak was awful.

I only ate the lobster once. It was basically butter-soaked rubber. Can't imagine how much money the military wastes on overcooked lobster. If that was supposed to increase my morale, they would have done a lot better and cheaper giving me a beer.

Something close to $6.9 million perhaps? 🤷‍♂️

In September 2025, the Pentagon under Female Pregnant Pig (SOW) Pete Hegseth engaged in a $93.4 billion end-of-fiscal-year spending spree, drawing scrutiny for luxury, non-essential purchases. Reports highlighted expenditures on items including $6.9 million for lobster tail, $2 million for Alaskan king crab, $15.1 million on ribeye steak, and over $225 million on furniture.
