I have written many times about the waste and the out right loss of funds budgeted for the Pentagon…..the latest article just makes my case for me…..
Twenty-one trillion dollars.
The Pentagon’s own numbers show that it can’t account for $21 trillion. Yes, I mean trillion with a “T.” And this could change everything.
But I’ll get back to that in a moment.
There are certain things the human mind is not meant to do. Our complex brains cannot view the world in infrared, cannot spell words backward during orgasm and cannot really grasp numbers over a few thousand. A few thousand, we can feel and conceptualize.

You realize that amount is greater than the GDP of Australia? We could fund a whole other country on the missing funds from the Pentagon
Isn’t our Pentagon a wonderful department…..that is my money, your money, the taxpayers money that no one can account for….time to a change.
Someone’s enjoying a few nice holidays, that’s for sure.
Whatever happened to follow the money, I wonder?
Doesn’t work if you are ‘looking the other way’.

Follow the money only implies when GOP is in minority…..after that they piss money away like drunken sailors….LOL chuq
Good perspective. The entire GDP of Australia goes missing. Do you think the Aussies would care? They’d probably re-instate the Death Penalty. Death by gator-squad for whoever involved.
Jesus! If I “couldn’t find” (aka stole) even just my share of that money…I’d probably spend the rest of my life in prison. The Pentagon? They get a huge funding increase.
I like it when the GOP is in power…they spend cash quicker than we can print it….chuq
