    Alcoholic male defense secretary with 0 OPSEC abilities orders makeup set for public appearances.

    Changes and upgrades to the Pentagon Briefing Room are nothing new and routinely happen during changes in an administration," a Defense Department spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News.

    We regularly waste taxpayer dollars like this.

    That was the reassuring argument.

    First of all, this isn’t something I support, I don’t trust literally anything this administration does, and it’s not really something I want my tax dollars spent on

    But taking a step back, when I think about it, I’m a little surprised the pentagon doesn’t already have one.

    Pretty much anyone who goes on TV is getting a quick once over by the hair/makeup/wardrobe people. And it’s not like they don’t host press conferences and such at the pentagon with some frequency.

    And the military is all about appearances - uniforms, hairstyle regulations, polished boots, etc. If you’re putting some military bigwig in front of a camera, that’s, in part, a propaganda opportunity, so you want them to look the part
