Air national guard crew stops st trumps turnberry resort- military used to prop up trump property.

The inquiry is part of a broader, previously unreported probe into U.S. military expenditures at and around the Trump property in Scotland. According to a letter the panel sent to the Pentagon in June, the military has spent $11 million on fuel at the Prestwick Airport — the closest airport to Trump Turnberry — since October 2017, fuel that would be cheaper if purchased at a U.S. military base. The letter also cites a Guardian report that the airport provided cut-rate rooms and free rounds of golf at Turnberry for U.S. military members.

Self dealing using the military while the military goes along and refuses oversight questions.

entire military has been corrupted. The Joint Chiefs should all be removed immediately.

Apparently they like working for a dictator. Didn't they take an oath?
