Eisenhower warned us about the military-industrial complex growing too big and powerful – now his warnings have to fruition.
Since 1996 the Department of Defense has run up $8.5 trillion of unaccounted for spending.
When the holes came up in paperwork, DOD just made up numbers on the books, all while no audit has been done.
Gordon Duff, Senior Editor of Veterans Today Newspaper, says the ‘phony war on terror over the last 10+ years has been an opportunity for defense entities to buy Congress’.
Tell me again, why the USA cannot cut Defense spending? If they can lose 8.5 Trillion dollars it seems like 8.5 trillion would be a good first cut to me.
it probably funded some black bag project
Thats out debt to the world
I bet if they were told they didn’t get paid till they found it one way or another there would be answers.
Someone needs to be held accountable for this! We want answers!
Sort of rather impossible to imagine because DOD does have a sound accounting system and 8 trillion does not disappear unless stolen by govt.
How do you e expect to win a war if you can not even keep track of you money.
hold obama accountable
Neil Jordan dude it’s 2016 damned near 2017. I’d like to let you know Bush left Jan. 2009. Everything from that point on is owned by obuttwad and the libturds. Oh and by the way they also own that 20 trillion in debt they have created bringing in terrorists and illegal wetbacks not mentioning the 50 million leeches stealing our tax dollars from welfare.
I read an article yesterday that out the total unaccounted for by the Pentagon at $9.5 trillion, fully one-third of our astronomical National Debt.
