Congress gone wild

There's a great story about Congress passing a military spending bill with stuff that the DoD doesn't want and thinks is wasteful. The Pentagon doesn't want to spend on this stuff, and yet in a bipartisan stroke, Congress passed the bill. Now the president is taking a little heat for saying he'll veto it. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Why would legislators try to force the military to spend on something they don't want? That's completely bizarre.
