[00:00:00]the Department of War really pushed back and said, "No, this money is meant for for keeping troop morale up." And I'm actually I'm sympathetic to that. So So you got to feed you. So So So true morale is is incredibly important. The But then the however part is taxpayer morale is even more important because if you if you lose the public support for what you're doing, you undermine the men and women in the field. And then and then the second point is if we're spending millions of dollars on on tomahawk stakes, that's money not not available for tomahawk cruise missiles.

[00:00:39]And that's the opportunity cost. That's that's what people in in government have. That's the what they're paid to do >> is make those hard decisions >> and weigh the cost benefit. So yeah, you can be so the answer is you can be pro troop morale, but you can also be pro let's make sure we get tomahawk missiles and not just tomahawk ribe eyes. Let's walk and chew gum at the same time, >> right? And it's be interesting to know the logic of the spend, right? Because if it was like, no, we need to boost the morale. It's worth spending. I I might note that lobster in Portland made is cheaper than chicken. So So it depends where you're getting the lobster.

[00:01:13]>> Well, there's Alaskan king crab, too.

[00:01:14]That was that's another part of the purchases.
