Pentagon Can't Even Keep Track Of The Systems That Keep Track Of Stuff

from the let's-see,-we-have-26-databases-to-count-our-databases... dept

The Pentagon certainly isn’t known for efficiency in their business processes, and no one ever said they needed to be run in the same manner as a profitable business, but the fact that they can’t even track the thousands of different databases and logistics systems that are supposed to keep track of all of their purchases and assets is a bit worrisome. At the very least it’s a huge recipe for fraud, with plenty of already greedy enough defense contractors clearly abusing the system for great profit to themselves — at the expense of our own tax dollars.
