We can learn a lot from Ukraine. Apparently the current lesson to learn is that we need to stop wasting so much money. No, not like\u00a0that<\/em>, like in the way that we got a lot of shit and don’t know where it is.<\/p>\n

From Defense News<\/a>;<\/p>\n

As the Pentagon racked up its fifth comprehensive audit failure, its chief financial officer on Tuesday said Ukraine\u2019s fight against Russia offers a \u201cteachable moment\u201d for the U.S. military to accurately tally its weapons and property.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

The audit, which covered the department\u2019s $3.5 trillion in assets and $3.7 trillion in liabilities, involved 1,600 auditors conducting 220 in-person site visits and 750 virtual site visits. The Pentagon inspector general and independent public accounting firms performed the audit, which was expected to cost $218 million this year.<\/p>\n

The 27 individual audits that comprise the effort yielded nine clean opinions, one modified opinion and disclaimers for the rest, which McCord said was on par with last year\u2019s results. The number of the DoD\u2019s material weaknesses also stayed steady at 28.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say we failed to get an \u2018A,\u2019 \u201d McCord said. \u201cI would not say that we flunked. The process is important for us to do, and it is making us get better. It is not making us get better as fast as we want.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Only in government work can you be such a failure over and over again and it’s just *shurg*<\/em> “That’s the way it goes.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
