Did you know every general in the armed forces gets his or her own aircraft, with a flight crew dedicated to it? Lear jets, Citation Jets, Gulfstreams, and even the lowly one star generals get King Airs'. They also enjoy such catering when they travel. They go to football games, take the kids to college for holiday breaks, and live the same good life pelosi is living.
Things must have changed. I worked with and around a number of AF general officers over the years and I don’t recall that they all had their own assigned aircraft. Now, there is a fleet of aircraft set up to ferry general officers around but there were not personal, assigned aircraft for anyone other than the very senior command chiefs. If all of the generals assigned to Offutt AFB under SAC and then STRATCOM had their own planes then I’m wondering where they were parked and maintained. From the VIP fleet, they are scheduled and assigned, sometimes coming from one base to another to pick up the passengers and fly them wherever. I made several TDY flights as an add-on passenger with a general and I didn’t seem much other than coffee and an inflight meal box, even for the general.
And it’s way past time that all of it stopped.
It’s not only wasteful, it’s disgraceful.
Pelosi is only one of how many wasteful spenders?
For me that’s the rub. It’s waste of taxpayers dollars at an orders of magnitude level.
