65B is still significant. 65B is still almost 1.8% of the total budget for 2015. If you say the government spent 620B on defense, that means 10% of that can't be accounted for. Imagine if you couldn't find 10% of your paycheck at the end of the year. It isn't a trivial amount.

That we are off by more than 10% of the Military budget and 1.8% of the total US budget is nuts. Unrelated: but after Clapper I don't know how anyone has any faith in the US Gov't. this is just another reinforcement.
