https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way ... of-defense
"The Defense Department is starting the first agency-wide financial audit in its history," the Pentagon's news service says, announcing that it's undertaking an immense task that has been sought, promised and delayed for years.
Of the tally that is starting this week, chief Pentagon spokesperson Dana W. White said, "It demonstrates our commitment to fiscal responsibility and maximizing the value of every taxpayer dollar that is entrusted to us."

With their Cap’n and Chief Intelligence Officer having deserted them, River, Ham and Joe valiantly continue their whataboutismistic last stand of the DJT apology tour.

Salute the Marines
Soon we'll have planes that fly 22000 mph

Re: Pentagon announces first audit of Dept of Defense
Only DOD?
Have responsible audits been performed at the other cabinet level departments?
And fraud or abuse in the welfare programs, the environmental agencies or the obama care organizations....?
I am all for the audit.

Yes, they all get audited. The GAO attempts to audit the DoD every year, but their financial management is so shoddy, the GAO can't complete an audit.oaktonhokie wrote:Only DOD?
