The menacing beige building was deemed \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/taskandpurpose.com\/history\/pentagon-shape-6-weird-facts-dods-hq\/#:~:text=The%20Pentagon%20was%20completed%20in,of%20the%20military's%20mothership%20ends.\" target=\"_blank\">ugly as sin<\/a>\u201d by the Commission for Fine Arts, and frankly, waking up at 7 a.m. every day to sit in one of its thousands of dark cubicles is enough to make a grown man cry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, one such worker, an Army veteran by the name of Drew Duggins, took to Twitter earlier this year to ask the best place to bawl among the Pentagon\u2019s five halls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Where\u2019s the best place to cry in the Pentagon?<\/p>&mdash; Drew Duggins (@ajduggins) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ajduggins\/status\/1623034063899529243?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 7, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over a hundred responses poured in, with the suggestions ranging from funny to profoundly sad. These are Military Times\u2019 preferred sob spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. The parking lot, at dawn, watching the sun rise over D.C. knowing you won\u2019t have access to the outside world for nine hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Into a burrito bowl from Moe\u2019s at a dirty rice-crusted corner table. Don\u2019t forget the queso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. In the bathroom after you get lost trying to find your way to your office on your first day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. In the courtyard, with the sun illuminating the tears on your face as cigarette smoke tingles into your nostrils, praying that the second-hand smoke takes you quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. On the ramp hallway that features black and white photos of Italian troops. It\u2019s a really sensory experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. With a box of Munchkins in your lap at Dunkin\u2019 Donuts. Powdered sugar is known to dry tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7. At the gift shop. The knitted Pentagon scarves make good handkerchiefs. Plus, you could pick up a fun $60 snowglobe \u2014 that should help improve your mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8. At Popeye\u2019s over biscuits and gravy. It\u2019s already salty as sin, what could a few more tears do but enhance the flavor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9. An empty sensitive compartmented information facility, more commonly known as a SCIF. Is there anything more sensitive than a good cry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Bonus: At the Defense News and Military Times desks in the press pool. Come for the tears, stay for the stories.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working at the Pentagon, home to the U.S. Department of Defense, is not exactly an easy
