Pentagon reportedly buries study revealing $125B in wasteful spending

2016-12-06 5

Defense officials hide a study showing $125 billion worth of administrative waste at the Pentagon, according to the Washington Post. Officials reportedly hid the material out of fear that Congress would cut the defense budget. The report, issued in January 2015 by the advisory Defense Business Board, called for a series of reforms that would save the department nearly $125 billion. Pentagon leaders feared the study's findings would dismantle their claims that years of budget sequestration had left the military short of money, according to The Post.
