    First of all, this isn’t something I support, I don’t trust literally anything this administration does, and it’s not really something I want my tax dollars spent on

    But taking a step back, when I think about it, I’m a little surprised the pentagon doesn’t already have one.

    Pretty much anyone who goes on TV is getting a quick once over by the hair/makeup/wardrobe people. And it’s not like they don’t host press conferences and such at the pentagon with some frequency.

    And the military is all about appearances - uniforms, hairstyle regulations, polished boots, etc. If you’re putting some military bigwig in front of a camera, that’s, in part, a propaganda opportunity, so you want them to look the part
