Vance wanted military helicopter to fly his son to a golf lesson

JD Vance sought last week to use a military helicopter to ferry himself and his son across Washington for a golf lesson, one of a number of allegedly unusual travel requests that has left the Republican’s security detail “fed up,” MS Now reports.

The alleged travel plans aboard Marine Two were ultimately canceled due to weather, but Secret Service agents nonetheless discussed it among themselves unhappily, according to the outlet.

Past vice presidents have had Secret Service agents drive their children to activities, rather than use military hardware, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars per hour to operate.

A series of last-minute travel requests, known as “off the record” movements,

Not like this administration likes to do anything on the record.

Vance’s plans to travel from his home at the Naval Observatory to the golf course at Andrews Air Force Base would’ve represented a flight on a familiar route, while avoiding public impacts such as traffic jams

Ah, he thinks he's too good to sit in traffic.

Good thing all those poor kids won't get free lunches at school anymore so they can afford all these free helicopter rides
