The Pentagon’s Bottomless Money Pit

After last year’s debacle, the services are now spending even more on outside advice to prepare for the next expected flop. The Air Force alone just awarded Deloitte up to $800 million to help the service with future “audit preparation.” The Navy countered with a $980 million audit-readiness contract spread across four companies (Deloitte, Booz Allen Hamilton, Accenture and KPMG).

Taxpayers, in other words, are paying gargantuan sums to private accounting firms to write reports about how previous recommendations were ignored.

It’s all a Catch-22 story about a country trapped in an endless cycle of avoidable financial disaster. Each time we try to fix leaks, we end up back where we started, staring at even bigger numerical representations of failure.

Back in 2001 the pentagon publicly stated that they could not account for $1.5 trillion in taxpayer funds that passed through the building

The next day 9/11 happened and the only part of the pentagon hit was the part that was auditing those expenditures, essentially destroying all evidence

I mean to keep Nighas and crackers safe we gotta take the war to them..I imagine that Bill is pricey

we where asked to stay home for a few months and damn near lost our mind
Imagine taking a evening stroll and hearing sirens warning you bout a missile..or national curfews. Our reality mighty different from others around the globe

And apparently it lines the pockets of mega billionaires who invest in war.

This is one of the scariest concepts of human history. The idea that people wage wars that kill millions, just to make money.
