Military.. but that’s it.
And when the politicians ran that we got Viet Nam.
.. True. And you could almost -—except for the brilliance of Gen. Patreus, said the same for Iraq.
After nine years in the Marine Corps, I realized that the Corps does combat very well, but everything else is waste, fraud and abuse!
When I see a former officer say that he “handled a million dollar budget” - I KNOW he means, “I spent OVER a million dollars a year, every year, whether we needed the stuff purchased or not - it was SPENT!” Because if you spend less than you did last year, you get the lesser amount the next year! So, every year the units spend every single penny allotted to avoid getting less the next fiscal year!
Fraud, waste and abuse are the ONLY things the government does well.
