How do you lose over 6 Trillion dollars? Sounds to me either there is A LOT of looting going or the money is being sent somewhere illegally.

I am not saying that the Pentagon is perfect, but I say they are doing this to justify huge cuts in military spending if Hillary gets in.

So does this bump the national deficit up to $26 trillion?

If this were China, certain members of the Obama administration would be executed.

How could this money be missing? It isn't. The last person to sign off on the spending should be held personally responsible for the money. And Obama, as Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces should also be personally responsible!

A trillion here, a trillion there. Pretty soon you’re talking about real money.

I think this is total BS. The defense budget since 96 has been just over 10 Trillion. From the article: “The US military made $2.8 trillion in wrongful adjustments in one quarter alone in 2015, and $6.5 trillion for the year, but could not provide anything that would detail what it spent the money on.”

Hell the budget for 2015 was under 700 billion, how do you lose 2.8 trillion in one quarter with a budget of .6 Trillion?

Now on the other side of the coin, the GVT is too good at losing money, as the joke goes they couldn't even make a profit on a whore house. Only the US GVT would set things up such that they get rid of prime real estate (e.g., Fort Ord) and pay the city of Monterrey 100 Million to take it.

I think this an attempt to put Hillary's $6 billion loss at the DOS in the noise. But they overdid it.

The Pentagon ... as well as the entire American hierarchy of political criminals are about to be seriously busted.

President Trump's biggest problem will be finding enough honest and patriotic Americans to fill the seats he vacates.

a LOT (I hope and pray) of positions will be eliminated altogether.

Doesn’t pass the smell test. The ENTIRE DoD budget since 1996 is CUMULATIVELY $10.1 trillion. CUMULATIVE Army budget is ~32% of total or $3.2 trillion.

Something smells. This is either an attempt to embarrass the Army so the budget can be cut OR the auditors haven’t got a clue.

The Russians wrote this. No need to call ‘BS’ on this, it IS bullshit. It’s from rt.com. They don’t have to put a sarc tag on anything, it’s all sarc.

The annual US. budget is under $4T. Did the total DoD budget get “lost” for 10 years running to get to $7T?

the ENTIRE DoD annual budget is about $650 BILLION.

for them to be missing $6 trillion, that would require no concept where any money has been spent for the past 10 YEARS

you’ll excuse me if i think the story doesn’t pass the smell test
