An audit of the U.S. military’s
spending in Afghanistan has revealed that a whopping $45 billion is
unaccounted for.
.
This is zero percent surprising given
the Pentagon’s track record on waste. Scott Shackford at Reason
ably explains why this is just another reason we do not need to
increase the military’s budget—especially without a full audit of
the Pentagon:
.
Remember when we were informed in 2013 that America was giving literal bags full of cash to the office of then-Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai? It really shouldn’t be a surprise at this point that billions of dollars of Pentagon spending within Afghanistan prior to 2010 is unaccounted for. …
.
Now comes the news that we don’t even
really know for certain what the Pentagon has done with $45 billion
of $66 billion spent in Afghanistan prior to 2010. Why? Because until
then the Pentagon was not required to account for it. The
bureaucratic details that led to these circumstances is fleshed out
here.
