Military Intelligence Ha Ha Ha!!!

“We have a big problem in this country, and it’s not just how the money’s being spent. We actually are struggling to make these things. So, it tells you that, in addition to all this money that’s being poured into the military, we have a military-industrial base that’s completely broken.

It’s one of the things that they haven’t even told you, it’s become so concentrated in the hands of four or five providers. There [are] really only three or four companies in the world that do this stuff, and that’s been the case now for years. There’s very little competition on these contracts. So, they can virtually almost charge us anything they want.

And the issue about not having the inventory, I actually heard that for the first time about a month and a half ago. I was stunned. … I would say, one of the key things that we need to have an answer to is not simply how the money’s being spent, that’s important and so forth. But are we spending it in the right — [do] our needs for the country in any way reflect how the money’s being spent? Whatever our military strategy is, the spending has to reflect that somehow, and you can’t know that without transparency.”
