[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you to everyone who provided thoughtful comments. I appreciate them. Interestingly I’m dealing with a health issue for my elderly parent and have firsthand experience into waste at the department of defense. The health issue that resulted in the inability of the hospital to provide a one hour study and kept him in the hospital overnight results in thousands of extra dollars of cost to Medicare. [b]What I’ve seen at DOD is astounding in terms of the amount of government purchases and hires when they don’t need things and can’t deliver what they promise.[/b][/quote]

Do conservative news outlets talk about this at all? Everything is about waste, waste, waste, but DOD is one of the biggest pieces of the pie and it feels like willful ignorance to the blatant fraud and waste there. I thought DOGE was going to investigate DOD, did that ever even happen? I feel like DOD spending is the elephant in the room and meanwhile, the proposed budget would increase their spending.[/quote]

Donald Rumsfeld implemented a reform to DoD purchasing.  It was eliminated by Obama.[/quote]
