The U.S. Army has been redirecting hundreds of millions of dollars it collected for soldiers living in barracks, away from food services, under Joe Biden, according to a report.

$460 per month is automatically deducted from the paychecks of service members.

The money – which is essentially a tax on troops - is supposed to help soldiers with food costs, but according to a Military.Com investigation - of the $225 million collected from their Basic Allowance Payments - $151 million was directed elsewhere.

It’s not clear what the redirected money is being spent on.

Rep. Jill Tokuda, D-Hawaii, said the data should be investigated.

"Stealing food money from our soldiers is not how we achieve military readiness. The fact that at least $151 million was collected from soldiers and not spent on food as required demands not just an immediate investigation, but swift accountability."

The Army was struggling to feed its soldiers with only two of 10 dining halls open at Fort Cavazos in Texas in the summer of 2023 and Fort Carson in Colorado was forced to serve soldiers meals of just lima beans and toast as of last November.

This as a new report revealed New York spent $22 billion on housing, food, cars and loans for illegal migrants.
