In a memo, obtained by Breitbart, to the Department of Defense after it had failed the first-ever, department-wide audit, Secretary of Defense James Mattis told his employees this is more than fiscal responsibility, but it is also about maintaining the trust of Congress and the American people.

“This audit is about more than financial management. It is about ensuring our military remains the most lethal fighting force in the world, across the battlefields of today and tomorrow,” Mattis wrote.

“To those agencies receiving a clean opinion, well done. To those who have more work to do — know that I intended the audit to detect problems. Identifying areas for improvement is the only way to ensure we craft effective solutions. In the days and months ahead, I expect all of you to implement the corrective action plans necessary for ensuring lasting, positive change at the speed of relevance. There can be no room for complacency.”
