You’re just seeing, clearly, the priorities of the US.

Is it helping sick citizens? No. Is it feeding the hungry? No. Free education, housing the un housed or protecting the environment? No, no , no.

To be perfectly clear, it’s not giving vets the benefits they deserve or keeping soldiers safe either.

Money. The priority is money.

Getting it. And making sure those that don’t have it don’t get it.

The government is very big. They can have multiple priorities. The Dept of Justice does not provide medical care, education, or anything else you listed -- they prosecute crimes. And using classified military plans for personal gain while potentially putting fellow soldiers at risk seems like a crime that is worth prosecuting.
