Breitbart: Schweizer: In DOGE Era, Pentagon Holds All the (Credit) Cards
New Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth highlights significant waste in Pentagon spending, with a recent report revealing $500,000 spent on casinos and entertainment, and $1.2 billion in unreviewed transactions. The military's financial audits have consistently failed since 2018, raising concerns about oversight.
The growing bureaucracy, with a disproportionate number of high-ranking officers compared to enlisted personnel, is seen as a barrier to necessary changes. Hegseth is open to oversight from figures like Elon Musk to address these issues.
