Now they've got a 'former Marine Corps Captain' as their defense expert. Unreal.

I think this is a good description of the DoD budget and has been for
60 years. Harry Truman's last good deed was as a senator going after
waste at the war department in WWII.


For at least two and a half decades, at least half the Military
Establishment's budget has been nothing but endless billions of dollars
poured down the toilet. For the money wasted on the military, we could
have rebuilt our infrastructure, rebuilt our factories, provided
universal healthcare, retired our national debt, provided quality
retraining for real jobs for "excessed" workers, and more.
