    BuT hOw ArE wE gOnNa aFfOrD iT!?!?!?!??!?!?!!?

    the fucking pentagon can’t account, literally cannot conceive, of where more than two thirds of its budget WENT.

    Of almost a TRILLION DOLLARS, 886 billion dollars, they only know where ONE THIRD of it went.

    That ~600 Billion Dollars have afforded all those things.

      The Pentagon does know where there money goes but they are never going to tell a committee of idiots who cannot keep a damn thing secret. If you can’t trust even the President to not run his mouth or expose classified satellite capabilities to our enemies then why would they ever tell anyone in politics where that money is going? I want a transparent govt as much as the next person but it isn’t going to happen.

        They’re legally required to tell those things, and democracy is not built on secrecy.

        This is the major interest point for me in UAP investigations - it looks exceedingly likely that the Pentagon is embezzling some of those funds through “pet projects” that are all legacy, ultra-secret, unaccountable, and need to produce nothing.

          Legally yes. But you have to prove they didn’t simply misplace the funds. Democracy is great and I love it. However, the fact remains you can’t report something you don’t have documentation on.
