The issue with the Pentagon accounting has been going on for decades. Billions were never accounted for in every past administration . No major part of the Department of Defense (DOD) has ever passed an audit.

But many on both sides of the aisle campaign on giving them more. (and more and more)

On the other side of Pentagon spending, a 1993 audit found that the Pentagon's excess stuff consumes 130 million cubic feet of space in 205 different warehouses costing taxpayers $94 million per year to store. In storage are supplies of parts determined to be unneeded, unusable, for weapons no longer in use, or in excess of 20 year supplies. This waste of excess continues today, costing taxpayers even more.

F-35's are Raptors

But yes, you are exactly right. To have them trying to take back bonuses while they waste and lose so much of our cash is absurd.

Drain the swamp!

Remember, Trump wants to give them a LOT more.

LOL. Kind of ironic seeing this topic, and watching the comments.

To hold someone accountable, start firing people. He also said that.

You don't have to make the military stronger by throwing away money. A lean and Mean military is best, Not fat or over funded.
