There’s now a criminal investigation into why US wasted $28 million on Afghan army uniforms
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis recently criticized the wasteful spending in a Pentagon memo

A criminal investigation has been opened into why the U.S. Department of Defense allegedly spent $28 million on uniforms for the Afghan Army that were printed in a “forest” camouflage that likely would only be suited for environments in a very small percentage of the countryside there.

I'm almost positive that the DOD's answer to that question will be....

why not?

I mean... it's not like the money spent was coming out of their pockets.

No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.

How much with the investigation end up costing?  Is there really a point to this?  We never see anyone held responsible for such things, so why bother?

  • I don't believe in Trump anymore, he's an illusion
Why would they do it? Is the manufacturer  owned by a democrat? How much of the $28 million found it's way into democrat coffers? Do we really need to ask? Find out who in government, including military was involved in the decision, terminate them and bar them from future federal employment.

Perhaps this was ordered, by some mid-level government "expert."

i.e. a career government service employee, so well protected, he/she keeps their job if they do a good job or a lousy job.

The type that has made Washington D.C. the most highly paid, and fastest growing area in the nation.

The place where the "Deep State" runs the show, no matter who is President.
