Review of Department of Defense/Pentagon...

Gorgeous building, great people. 10/10 protection. Even my grandparents are too young to remember the last time there was an attempt at invasion that had a serious chance of success. Yes, there's corruption, but where is there ever not? Besides, most of the really eye-popping stories, ie the infamous $400 hammers, are the result of Congress giving the Pentagon money they explicitly say they don't want or need, and then making them figure out how to spend it so their budget isn't gutted the next year. The DoD is doing the best it can under those circumstances. Since it all has to be spent, I'd rather they make that money disappear by paying too much for stuff they do need, rather than buying stuff they don't that will end up in the landfill and eventually our oceans. These people bear no responsibility for that, they just do their job, and do it better than anyone else in the world. Hawaii won't be blown up for real anytime soon.
