Air Force crew made an odd stop on a routine trip: Trump’s Scottish resort

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen Treating the Military Like His Own Personal Piggy Bank.

Additional information this morning " Air Force Brig. Gen. Ed Thomas said in a statement. "In this case, they made reservations through the Defense Travel System and used the closest available and least expensive accommodations to the airfield within the crews' allowable hotel rates."

My opinion, but any attempt by Trump or DOD Travel offices to maximize use of Trump's facilities would take a DOD policy memo or some other force wide communication which would have leaked immediately. Trump and his family love making money, but he nor they are stupid. I can imagine turning to my copilot or crew and saying offhand it would be neat to overnight in a Trump place

As a career C-5 crew member who slept in both filth and five stars: Good grief. This is pure anti-Trump sensationalism. Get it: A C-17 going from the east coast to the "box" can stop somewhere in Europe for gas or be aerially refueled or they can run out of gas over the med. Period. Does anyone not understand that aerial refuel is cosmically more expensive and only done for specific missions? So they went to F&%$ing Glasgow international instead of Rammstein. BFD. And they got to have breakfast at the boss's golf resort - at his invitation. What a crime. They should be so ashamed. These are guys and gals spending 250-300 days a year on the road for the past 18 years. You stay awake for 40 hours straight, sleep half what a normal person does, you go around the world in six days, get divorced, lose your kids, bring home dead bodies, get fired upon, deploy, live off the Shoppette food and then one Friday afternoon it's over. Retired and forgotten by all except the other zipper-suits. One night at Turnberry will be a story they can tell. What the hell are people mad at?
