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

Actually there are strict rules about wearing makeup in uniform. https://dacowits.defense.gov/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=Gm7Fsualdaw%3D&portalid=48

I’m pretty sure a new EO will state everyone’s face has to be orange.

Now we have a president, vice president and secretary of Defense that wear make up and they're all dudes. I'm all for people being who they want be, gender norms be damned but the hypocrisy is palpable
-
We're literally living in clown world.
-
better hope that there's an American company that makes the makeup, red noses, and rainbow wigs, or else this is gonna get real expensive with the tariffs

Alcoholic male defense secretary with 0 OPSEC abilities orders makeup set for public appearances.
Also decides other males aren't allowed to wear makeup in public.

But god forbid drag queens sing and dance!

Doesn't every war fighter need their concealer and foundation?

"Oh, I see! We got a real funny guy here. Private Joker."

Changes and upgrades to the Pentagon Briefing Room are nothing new and routinely happen during changes in an administration," a Defense Department spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News.
We regularly waste taxpayer dollars like this.
That was the reassuring argument.
-
Just a little taxpayer-funded gender affirming care!
-
oh shit I thought we all got this update on signal days ago
-
Is this what the "warfighter" needs? 🤣
-
His qualification was "on the TV", so it's what this particular warrior needs.
-
-
I thought this was the onion.
-
Same. We got not-the-onioned
-
-
vance needs to do his makeup from time to time.
-
Something something waste fraud and abuse
-
Damn, sure could use some IGs right now
-
-
Have to get rid of the alcohol blush somehow!
-
“Don’t ask, don’t tell.”
-
"Lipstick on a pig" seems fitting here.
-
makeup is for dead people and clowns only.
-
For the downvoters, this is a thing you'll hear a lot around military people
-
-
Edit: Just saw it's already there lol
-
You can’t fix ugly.
-
This is exactly what makeup does.
-
I maybe would’ve taken the argument for plastic surgery over makeup. But either way, we have different definitions of ugly.
-
Alcohol also works

It'll only stock red white and black face paint though.
