- dctoedt 15y ago> The Pentegon [sic; Pentagon] is not under market pressure to be efficient or turn a profit. They don't even get audited. The GAO [1] does something close to auditing - although the Pentagon's financial statements aren't in the kind of shape that they even can be audited (something the GAO and DOD are working on).
