9 more Iraq, Afghan war veterans joining Congress - Yahoo! News Lookie here, maybe help is on the way, its a start..................
Did it help when McCain got in? How about Carter?
Under the direct ORDERS from the civilians who control them. Congress and the President ORDER them to spend money. It are how it are. When you have a problem with the military ALWAYS determine who directed the action you have a problem with. Always look as high up the food chain as you can. NOTHING happens in a vacuum.

Very intelligent. Answers like are likely to further discussions that will help to solve the problem. Like voting out the one who are causing the problem.
Wife used to do sales to Andrews, Navy Yard, Quantico, AP Hill, Norfolk.......talk about spend recklessly....whatever they had left over in the budget they HAD TO SPEND or the next years budget would get cut by that amount...the toys those guys would buy..LOL.
You would think a dept. manager would get some kind of bonus for being frugal with taxpayer money....but noooo way.....spend it or lose it, is the way....

Actually, I could say exactly the same thing in regards to your own previous reply.
Your previous reply essentially appears to seek to totally absolve anyone in the military ... while completely condemning those in the political realm ...
40 or 50 years ago you might have gotten away with it ... these days, we are much better informed and so are not likely to fall for that lie.
Fact of the matter is that while those in elected positions are certainly part of the problem, they are not the entirety of it.
The bureaucracy is also a huge part.
The military is part of the bureaucracy.
