The U.S. Department of Defense is in deep trouble this time. It has been reported that the Pentagon spent $50.1 billion in five days months before the raid on Iran, including $15.1 million on steak and $6.9 million on lobster tails...
One foot is deeply stuck in the quagmire of the war it initiated, while the other is stepping into the whirlpool of public condemnation. A scandal known as "Lobster Gate" is brewing.
Recently, the U.S. non-governmental organization "Open Accounts" released a report disclosing a "luxurious bill" of spending by the Pentagon, which included high-end furniture, luxury musical instruments, and piles of king crab legs, lobsters, and steaks. This extravagant spending occurred months before the raid on Iran.
First, let’s look at how outrageous these numbers are. The report revealed that in September 2025, which is one month before the end of the fiscal year, the Pentagon’s total expenditure reached $93.4 billion, setting a historical record. In just the last 5 working days of that month, it spent $50.1 billion, surpassing the annual defense budget of most countries in the world.
So where did all this money go? High-end ingredients, high-end furniture, luxury musical instruments, low-cost performance computer hardware and software, and absurdly, the Pentagon also spent $3,160 that month on stickers featuring cartoon characters like "Dora the Explorer," "Frozen," and "Paw Patrol," while wasting defense funds on extravagant enjoyment and racking up war debts.
The Trump administration faced a united outcry from both parties in Congress and the American public. According to a recent report by The New York Times, in the first 6 days of U.S. military action against Iran, U.S. military spending exceeded $11.3 billion, condemning the U.S. government for "starting the war while making the public foot the bill."
As time goes on, the cost of war becomes increasingly clear. Besides the vast amount of ammunition and enormous expenditures, the greatest cost is always human—the wounded soldiers and the deceased civilians.
