There is a fantastic amount of waste at the DoD. The kind of stuff that defies reason. Retooling the force structure of the Army alone would save billions. Same goes for intelligence.

Yeah, this stuff is vital, but it needs to be managed better by Congress. Too often they're just pushing money at problems without asking really basic questions on what the money is going for, or if those tasks are redundant, obsolete, or even needed at all.

What is needed is someone who cares about defense to be given the Big Red Pen, and start slashing waste.

No you are doing it the wrong the way. It is the job of the Inspector General to run audits of the various departments to find there is waste. He is not doing his job.National Defense is guaranteed by the US Constitution to the individual States under Article 1, Section 8
