The 1975 Senate hearings on contractor fraud with active duty military men and DPSC members taking bribes ultimately cost the USAF its Veterinary service. The USAF Veterinary service caught the Army Class Three inspectors taking massive amounts of bribes at origin. The debacle included at least 70 Army members and a dozen DPSC employees at Philadelphia. I had to testify to the FBI on the junk that these Army inspectors passed. Some Army members had better PR and lobby members and convinced Jimmy Carter that the USAF didn’t need the veterinary service even though it took three Army techs to do the job of one USAF member. It was my eye opening experience on how politics and logic are at odds.
