The DOD is among the most wasteful agencies in our government. For the most part, it is run by defense contractors who pay off elected officials who reward their constituants with defense plants in their district or state. The military's part is to get for whatever service they are, more money than the other service. As long as corporate America runs things, we will never have an truely effective or fiscally responsible military.

GAO needs to put the foot down on the Pentagon and make them accountable.
