Pentagon wasted millions on plane tickets
Reuters: Pentagon wasted millions on plane tickets
The Pentagon wasted $100 million (54.7 million pounds) over six years on airline tickets, a report has revealed, prompting lawmakers to urge the government to "fix its culture of indifference" to American taxpayers.
When we complain about military spending, we are not necessarily talking about paying soldiers, or providing safety equipment and arms. We're talking about a huge black hole into which billions of dollars disappear. Wingnuts like to complain about government waste, but they're usually talking about having too many employees in a department they don't care about. These departments, of course, have budgets that are miniscule fractions of the Pentagon's. If the wingnuts truly cared about waste, they'd put an end to the lack of accountability at the Pentagon and kill off the crazy technology projects designed to win wars we fought decades ago.
