The politics of this disaster aside...
This has massively exposed our militaries, specifically the Army's inability to move equipment across the sea. Sal has covered these short comings in detail on his YouTube channel, "What's Going on with Shipping."
The Army and Navy have seen huge cuts in their ocean going tugs and heavy lift capabilities. Heck one of the cargo ships suffered an engine rim for shortly after leaving the US and had to return for home!
The seas in the location where this was deployed were known to be in excess of the capability of the system.
The real question is if the military ignored the known limitations of the system and deployed it despite this in order to please the administration or if the administration forced the military to deploy the system despite the military's objections.

Pretty sure it's an AAFES thing. Popeyes/subway/charleys, etc are typically in the BX/PX/express while the BKs are typically (not always) stand alone structures.
I think the NEX must have a deal with McDonald's as I've seen them at Coronado & Pearl (limited sample size I know) Only AF/SF base I've seen a McDonald's at was Peterson SFB but it shut down during the lockdowns.
I know, way too much of a deep dive on military installations fast food offerings.
The way Biden and his Islamo-Fascist regime view it, this was not a failure at all.
Their Hamas allies got tons of supplies out of the deal.
Just like Afghanistan. Getting Americans and the Afghan soldiers they trained killed was a price worth paying to put the Taliban back in power.
For Joe Biden, Americans and American assets are expendable whenever someone is willing to cut him a 10% slice of the pie.

Lost in all of this is a US soldier on life support that was injured on the ship from which supplies are being sent to the Gaza pier.
Next up for the Biden Illigitimate Regime:
423 million to develop an Ice Cream Glove to protect your hand from melting ice cream.
246 million on Trans Fashion Studies.
143 million on Military DEI lectures and indoctrination.
All money well spent, right?
We can just print more, right?
Democrats will save America.

The DoD has $797.7 Billion in discretionary spending. Roughly $256 Billion of that is allocated to the Navy. The dock, if it did cost $320 million, only accounted for 0.125% of their budget, which I doubt it did, as the funds probably came from some other part of the NDA Fund.
What everyone forgets is once Congress makes the budget and the President signs it, it has to be spent in the way it was authorized. The money was going to be spent on the military in one way or another. It's not like money was taken from the VA or Medicare.
If you are really going to get mad about "huge waste of taxpayer dollars" Then you should know Trump spent $72 million of your dollars golfing. The same person who infamously said: I'll be too busy to golf.

You copied and pasted this exact post from a previous post of yours.
And it's still a completely wasted $320M regardless of how the money was approved.

Provide exact details how money was spent specifically for golfing.
This was a dumb take when you posted it two weeks ago when this piece of **** broke apart and drifted into the sea after only 2 weeks, with not even a single goldfish cracker having gone to the Palestinian "civilians".
Even worse today.
Glad that it's gone though...only people it ever resupplied was Hamas terrorist.
Joe Biden is a ****ing idiot, clearly, but there is also a lot to be said of his voters and water carriers that continue to defend his ineptitude.
I'd rather Trump spent 100M on golfing as long as we aren't involved in two global proxy wars wasting trillions, mensa.

Actually, the "waste of money" aspect is just the cherry ontop of this turd sundae.
What I more take issue with is 1) why we even did it in the first place, and 2) now that we did, how it spectacularly failed, just like all its critics said it would.
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

First and only poster I've blocked on Texags. It doesn't matter how stupid or egregious a democrat policy or action is, there's always a Democrat religious zealot willing to justify it. 30 worthless seconds of your life that you won't get back . Ignore that poster, or at least stop quoting it.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Funny, all that time Trump wasting our money playing golf and we had pretty mundane world issues. In fact, working towards plenty of Middle East peace agreements. So in your fantastically stupid logic, you have to count the bridge, all the money poured into Israel, all the money given to Hamas, sorry, Gaza and their worthless citizens, and Ukraine, and all the shutdown money that the democrats piled up keeping Covid as a cudgel for their power grab.
So no, it's not 72 million or whatever bull**** you want to parrot again, it goes much deeper than that and you stand by with your cello on the deck of the Titanic rearranging a couple of deck chairs.

If the latter it would serve as fairly cheap and useful fig leaf for the administration to placate the part of the base that's sympathetic to the Palestinians while not doing anything that would disadvantage Israel.

Serious answer... This thread seems to be mostly platitudes and shallow retorts, but here goes.
The Army has it's own ships. There are parts of the logistical chain that are under the Army's control. Think along the lines of the recently rented invasion of Normandy. It was (I think) well over a month before the allies secured a deep water port to move men and materials ashore. Until then they had to build and operate a temporary harbor. That involved construction a large breakwater and floating piers that cargo ships could dock alongside. It was the Army then and is still the Army today.
Yes this is a reusable system and I'm truth major elements don't get the funding they need for the necessary maintenance. See the YouTube videos on the channel I mentioned that's in a comment quoted just above this one.

This is stupid.
It's not a shoddy system. It was (knowingly) deployed in an environment outside its operational parameters.
Using anything in ways it is not intended to be used is a recipe for disaster. Using a spatula to cut a steak is stupid not because the spatula is a bad kitchen implement, but because a spatula is a lousy knife.

let's not forget that Biden first announced his wonderful Pier about two months before it first became operational.
