The SIZE of the military budget MUST be shown in order to put this in perspective.

Who here couldn’t cut ONE PERCENT from their expenses without facing dire financial consequences?

I think we’d all keep our houses.

This from a dept that couldn’t account for 5 trillion in spending some years back.

I can’t help but think of Independence Day and Judd Hirsch complaining about 500 dollar hammers.

Probably 5000 now.

Make DoD officials do their own powerpoint presentations and schedule their own meeting instead of paying beltway bandits to do it and you would save twice that.

I can name hundreds of ways, as Military is used as Pork Projects by both parties. All you have to do is look in the Pig Book to find many. Planes, Ships, tanks, weapons we spend Billions on they don’t want or need. $7 K speed bumps for 5 mph parking lots mainly Ret. Seniors use.

The NEW Electronic Pharmacy check in system they put in is DOWN after the Snafu of the Installation less than 3 months ago. Now there are only 2 techs at the windows 1 at Intake 1 at Pick up.
