The Pentagon is the world’s largest property owner. It has more than 5,000 sites in 41 countries.
It’s the world’s largest polluter. It’s exempt from environmental regulations and wildlife treaties.
It poisons the earth. Its desecration is virtually unreported. It’s responsible for genocide and ecocide.
It’s destroying the planet’s ability to sustain life. It spends trillions of dollars doing so.
On November 18, Reuters headlined ”Behind the Pentagon’s doctored ledgers, a running tally of epic waste.”
Since 1996, DOD was never held accountable for $8.5 trillion. On September 10, 2001, then Defense Secretary Rumsfeld said:
“According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions.” At issue is massive waste, fraud and abuse.
Sweetheart deals, bribes and kickbacks are commonplace. So is routine over-billing. Unaccountability is standard practice.
