>The DOD is unable to account for 61% of its 3.5 trillion in assets. I bet most of the circumstances behind this stat are mundane. I used to be in military SAR and we had a mule[0] randomly go missing. We were mystified because it's not like a work-issued Blackberry you could forget at a Subway or something. It's hard to lose track of a 20-ton piece of GSE, or at least you'd think so. It later turned up in Kandahar at the coalition base. These things happen; it's not malicious so much as the fact that mission success sometimes mean you take the wrong tow mule and "oh well".
