$25 million?! That’s about 6,000 crates of protein bars. They have a problem that would require daily bombing raids, logistics support, helicopters, drones...call it $20 million per day?

The next time they cry there is no money for social programs or others in need, this needs to be flung in their faces.

Absolute disgrace.

This is kind of like flinging a fly at the windscreen of a Humvee.
