- jessaustin 6y agoGee, that sounds problematic. We give them $750B/yr, they kill innocent people around the world, and they don't submit to public oversight? I wish we lived in a free society...
- balls187 6y agoThe Senate Committee on Armed Services is the public government "group" charged with oversight of the US Military. I don't know if that meets your definition of public oversight.
