USAF Says "Charge (It)!"

The General Accounting Office says that the United States Air Force is every bit as profligate with its credit cards as is the Army and Navy.

Reports the AP:

"Air Force plastic was used for cruises, gambling, adult clubs, Dallas Cowboys football games, a down payment on a sapphire ring and a general's Las Vegas casino party.

And for a mounted deer head at the Air Force Academy. Officials there said the $375 charge for taxidermy services allowed the roadkill victim to be used in educational programs."

Anything for our boys and girls in uniform. Read the full GAO tally of your tax dollars at work.
