Insult to injury

Former Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly's trip to Guam where his speech to the crew of the USS Theodore Roosevelt eventually led to his resignation cost the Defense Department an estimated $243,000, according to multiple reports.

First reported by USA Today, Modly, who resigned Tuesday after audio and transcripts of his speech were leaked, traveled to Guam in a modified Gulfstream jet. The jet reportedly cost $6,946.19 per hour to fly. With roughly 35 hours of total air time, the cost of the trip comes out to just over $243,000.
