How US military spends the nation's money, pretty ugly

H

HarbingerQ

This revelation is quite ugly, not that anyone cares. President doesn't care, average citizen doesn't care.

The American way of life WORKS, until one day, it doesn't. But hey Fed is going to push market higher tomorrow and day after tomorrow so I guess there is no problem what so ever.


THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR DECADES

"And every month they encountered the same problem, numbers were missing, numbers were clearly wrong, numbers came with no explanation......"

Only the USA could waste so much money and accomplish so little.

And nobody cares. The fact that so much is snorted by the various participants may be exaggerated.

My beef is not 1 penny of it rolled up here !

oh well it'll be payback sometime or will it ?

USA and NATO should have invaded Asia and Africa in year 1980 instead of setting up businesses there.

If the military of a country surrenders to powerful army of other country then the victorious nation is the owner of that land.

That's called Imperialism or plain old theiving.

Not to be encouraged as it starts wars and bitterness that kill a lot of people. Want a recent example ? Israel, even after 2,500 years of persecution. They never learrn, There are over 1 million displaced people in filthy camps in the countries around Israel and look to remain there as long as the USA supports land grabbing nations.

Employees of giant companies show off their strength by getting addicted to sports.

Employees show off their bodies/figures in offices. If people give high importance to body shape or physical fitness then military business or farming is the best for all the countries.
 
Over the past 10 years, the Defense Department has signed contracts for the provision of more than $3 trillion in goods and services. How much of that money is wasted in overpayments to contractors, or was never spent and never remitted to the Treasury, is a mystery.

12 new Ford-class carrier groups cost $27 billion each.


The military is just playing arrogant war games. Each carrier group is capable of destroying an entire continent without nukes. What is the US gearing up for?
 
Military is a necessary evil. Country needs military just like a wealthy celebrity needs a bodyguard. Do you guys have any security expenses? If you don't then maybe it's more difficult for you to understand the notion of "security".

Where are the missing trillions? Maybe they are spent on NASA projects.
Why do you care if the military makes you feel safe?
This sounds like you don't trust your military and the way they spend money. Does a military have to report to ordinary citizens of the country its spendings?
And why do you need a military you don't trust?
