$130 million pays about 6 hours of total cost of military pay.
They're buying PR. "Look how much we've done for the troops. It's all the democrats' fault."
Then the media will report on it, without any details on how this is less that one fourteen hundredths of what is needed.
They get "good press" and get to pile further blame on dems. To them, it's money well spent.
