2. Some of it is probably in the black ops budget

...but a whole shitload of it is in sloppy accounting at the individual services level, as well as rip-offs using government credit cards. Then you've got your 'fake contractors' who submit invoices for work never performed, but get paid anyway, TAD travel scam artists...there are as many technicques to rip off Uncle Sam as there are days in a year.

The entire budgetary process in government is a joke. It's not just the military, it's every federal agency. They make it way harder than they need to...you have to wonder if it is deliberately arranged thusly....
