Q: How was an employee able to embezzle $103.3 million from the Pentagon?

 A: Yet again, what’s past is prologue at the Pentagon. As a taxpayer watchdog, I’ve long worked to fix the fiscal mess at the Department of Defense. From greedy contractors to faulty accounting systems, the Pentagon’s fiscal mismanagement undermines U.S. military readiness. National security is the #1 responsibility of the federal government.
