In addition to the pricey coffee, there are the cups that the US Air Force has reportedly been purchasing.

The Pentagon released its seventh financial audit last year, but as in prior years, it was announced that they had failed.
Bloomberg reports that the Pentagon Inspector General noted that significant work remains and problems lie ahead’ in the process of restructuring the financial books, but that it gave them a better idea of how to deal with it.

Chief Financial Officer Michael McCord said in a statement, “Momentum is on our side, and throughout the department there is strong commitment—and belief in our ability—to achieve an unmodified audit opinion,” adding, “The path forward is clear.”

However, prior spending has come under scrutiny as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE team want to reduce costs throughout the defense sector.

According to Fox News, a 2018 congressional investigation found that the Air Force was spending enormous amounts of money on its KC-10 aircraft by replacing coffee cups with broken handles rather of fixing them. The cups were also reheatable.
