The most arrogant cabinet-level organization in the US government has to be the Pentagon. Full of leaks, horribly managed, and proudly un-auditable it continues to just spew money out of all five sides.
There was one glimmer of hope last week when the Pentagon actually asked Congress to stop buying things it doesn't need or want...you know, like the "Star Wars" program that can't hit anything, or planes that go into mothballs right away or tanks that are lining up in the desert. Of course the F-35 is something the Pentagon wanted...and it continues to auger itself further and further into the ground although the pace will slow down some if the Pentagon's latest "guesstimate" for fixing all the problems it has found so far has gone down slightly.
Of course...thinkers may want to ask why the 'retrofit' costs are needed at all (or how accurate they could be) on a plane that has yet to be delivered in full operational, fighting readiness to any service.
