The Luxe Life of US Generals - Private Jets, Mansions, Gourmet Chefs & Valets

And people resist any cuts to the defense budget?

This shit is what's bankrupting this country.

More from Washington Post story...

The travel practices of two theater commanders, which prompted Pentagon investigations this year, may further jeopardize the perks.

When he was former head of the U.S. Africa Command, Army Gen. William “Kip” Ward spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars for private travel, including using military vehicles to shuttle his wife on shopping trips and to a spa, according to a report by the Defense Department’s inspector general. The report detailed lengthy stays at lavish hotels for Ward, his wife and his staff members — he billed the government for a refueling stop overnight in Bermuda, where the couple stayed in a $750 suite — and the use of five-vehicle motorcades when he traveled in Washington. The report also said Ward often took longer-than-necessary business trips to the United States, resulting in “exponential” increases in costs.

The current top U.S. commander in Europe, Adm. James Stavridis, also came under the scrutiny of the inspector general for using a military jet to fly to the Burgundy region of France for a dinner organized by an international society of wine enthusiasts. Stavridis defended the trip as an opportunity to meet with French military and business leaders.

Thank you so much.

I'd give you another karma point but already did!

You rock!

Darby!

Yeah, nothin new.

All these bureaucrats, top military brass included, are princes of the highest order, and feel deserving of perks that Warren Buffet wouldn't even consider spending money on.

Whatcha gonna do?

The retirement benefits that the government doles out should be equal to all, congressional members, members of the mililary, citizens who collect social security, etc. All need to be included, all need to be the same rate of retirement pay. Why do congressional members get retirement pay after only serving one term? Who in the private sector gets retirement pay after only a few years one the job? No one. A 3 star general gets over $200,000 per year in retirement pay Really? What does Petraus get? He probably gets 2 retirement checks, one from the military and one from CIA. (Rant off)

Thank you...

Only the finest for satan's faithful servants.
