I have been seeking the actual cost of our traveling royalty, and have been stone-walled. I set up a site a few months ago, and haven't yet gotten cooperation from AF or Marines. Casual computation has it somewhere over a BILLION DOLLARS now! Everybody on per diems, and all those packing away the fine beef and prawns, makes a lot of party costs. There are lots of extra aircraft and personnel involved in every trip. They're "living large..."
It's good to be king!
