If they had 2 million more bodies, would it get done in a year? 2 years? 5 years?
How long would it take with the people they have.
They shouldn’t get any budget increases until they can account for the vast majority of assets.
Every tank we make and lose track of, is a school full of hungry kids that could have been given lunch.
Every bomb that’s made and rusts in a warehouse is thousands of dollars that could be put toward housing the homeless.
Every plane that’s sitting in the boneyard in the desert could have payed for cancer treatments, or thousands of routine doctors visits for Americans.
Why do we keep giving the DOD more money every year, when they can’t even say where half of it is going, and when that money could be put towards real issues that people face every day in this country.
Our government has said every year for decades, that having a new goddamned floating airfield is more important than educating our children or feeding our hungry citizens. That having more tanks than the next guy is more important than providing shelter for millions. And when we ask where exactly all of this money has gone, how many more tanks do we really have, how many aircraft do we have, how many rifles, they just shrug and say they can find a third of it. It’s a farce.

4 years to train, 6 years for the audit. So about a decade.
