He's not an employee. He's a volunteer consultant, he's not being paid

Honestly though if they are not allowed to go after the defence and specifically procurement dept of it, it's all just a farce.

Lets see where the real money is going.

Agreed, But I'm also an advocate of increased military spending.

1. Reduce bullshit military costs
2. Increase military technology
3. Increase military recruiting

e- USA Military MUST be #1 in the world, forever...
in might, technology and training.

Oh it would be interesting to see the dollars actually going to PMCS, and equipment procurement. Every year is another failed financial audit.

The PMC part would be very interesting. Not wanting to use internal resources for carrying things out. Lets see how much waste goes to bullshit there. I suspect that will never come to light.

Especially money going to the evangelical rich like your boy Erik and his gang that got pardoned in 2020 and of course suprise suprise, his company got swolled up into a bigger one run by a UVA alumni.

Trump says DOGE will look into the Pentagon.

IMO we could root out waste to where we'd spend maybe half of what we do now and STILL be #1
we just have to be better with the money allocated for DoD instead of making defense contractors rich beyond belief - people like erik prince should not exist

I would argue that even if the dollar amount is peanuts, the cultural effect of unmasking the fact that you want US taxpayers to fund female dog circumcision in Myanmar is huge. After Covid and Doge, the Deep StateTM has less than zero credibility among a growing number of voting constituencies. Your army of perverts whose entire existence is to try to touch kids is over.
