1.5 million people are employed directly by the Pentagon (fact check me plz). Trillions??? in capital assets (planes, boats, ??).
750 installations globally plus deeply integrated relationships with multiple allies (military and fiscal). Allies train in the US and visa versa.
I can understand the monumental undertaking it would be to audit the Pentagon.
- favflam 4y agoOh yes, I forgot the audit also has to prevent leakage of national secrets.
- eastbound 4y agoAny waterfall attribution of budgets can be made with an little more than an Excel spreadsheet ;) but, to keep secrets, maybe they have to invent a special decentralized protocol. I’m sure someone is getting the same budget from several entities, and perhaps owns an island to spend it all.
