The Department of Defense (DoD) spent more than a half a million dollars on the male enhancement drug Viagra last year, according to government contracts.
The Pentagon issued 60 contracts worth $504,816 for the drug in 2014. All 60 contracts were awarded to Cardinal Health Inc., a pharmaceutical distribution company based in Dublin, Ohio.
Last year DoD also ordered $3,505 worth of Levitra, and $14,540 of Cialis, other popular erectile dysfunction drugs.
The contracts were filed under “Troop Support.”

This is an absolute outrage. While this revelation is a veritable comedy vein of one-liners, sexual innuendo, it's no laughing matter. I guarantee you that when the military was an all male fighting force, none of these superfluous, self-indulgent, totally unnecessary medical expenses would have appeared as a military expense. This half a million dollars of outrageous military profligacy is the result of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual) freaks of nature being allowed to serve in the military along with their freak of nature needs being served as well. My God! External vacuum appliances,“penile implants and testicular prostheses", all part of a modern day fighting force in Obama's army.
Onw more of the many “Obamagoals”
How about spending some money on REAL ISSUES?
Why is Hasan breathing?
Why are his enablers breathing?
Why does al Qaeda meet at 1600?
The contracts were filed under “Troop Support.”

LOL. I see what you did there. Standing at attention. LOL
Never heard it called “troop” before!
Since young alpha males with raging hormones need little help in that department, I would bet that very little of the Viagra went to ‘troops’.
Troop Support?
Give ‘em a Popsicle stick and some duct tape.
Our tax money, Hard at work
LOL. I get it. Hey, doc, I need support for my flagging ‘troop’.
LOL. I see what you did there. Standing at attention. LOL

Yeah. I was in my pup tent when this article was posted.
I read at least one story some time ago that some of these drugs were in high demand in Afghanistan and other theatres. They may have been used as a form of payment/bribe for info.
For 504,816, it BETTER be hard.
Don’t ask, don’t tell. Thanks lbryce.
For the Afghans or the billy goats?
I doubt any single one of Obama's recreational golf trips costs as little as $504,816, so this doesn't even amount to a rounding error. It disturbs me not nearly as much as most of the other ways the US the gov't wastes, squanders and steals my tax dollars.
How many US troops does one think actually got this treatment? I’d say very few if any. These stiffy meds the Pentagon purchased more than likely went directly to the DC politicians, federal agencies and the Banksters on Wall Street since they are the ones doing all of the screwing. I’m over 60 and I got my Viagra and Rogaine mixed up one time. My hair got so stiff I couldn’t come it.
The typo at the end of your post is a real Freudian slip.
You’re welcome.
