This is the least of it. Representatives entire families are set for life. Somehow, everybody in their family gets stinking rich after election, and their book is always a "NYTimes best seller" because they are bought by the campaign (and dumped in a landfill), insider trading is rampant, super-PACs.

I'm okay with someone in the military picking up some extra cash. Family has to eat, whether government is "shut down" or not. I hope it was some smart ass buck private.

In the USA politics is the number three easiest way to achieve "financial security", only inheritors and prosperity gospel preachers have it easier.

It's not fucking military leaking unless they came in with Drunk Pete Hegseth.
