What do you think some of the more wasteful aspects of the DoD are? Just asking because I know you’re a veteran.

The big one is defense contracts and that would go into the whole Boeing, Lockheed/Martin, GE, and McDonnell Douglas (when it was still around) type contracts. I wouldn't even know where to start in discussing this because there is so much to discuss.

On the micro level, when each individual unit is issued a budget that unit must spend that budget or have it reduced for the next fiscal year. I've seen money spent on plasma tvs, top on the line furniture, and useless stuff like that.
