"The Pentagon’s books are a mess, and D.O.G.E just ripped the lid off one of the biggest financial disasters in government history. The Department of Defense (DoD) lost track of $824 billion last year, and their latest audit only confirms what most already suspected—no one knows where the money went.This isn’t a small accounting error. The DoD’s $4.1 trillion in assets and $4.3 trillion in liabilities were put under scrutiny, and the results are just embarrassing.
Three major Pentagon branches—the Marine Corps, the Defense Logistics Agency’s National Defense Stockpile Transaction Fund, and the DoD Office of Inspector General—haven’t even submitted their audits yet.
Parnell called out $13 million in projects that had little to do with military operations. This included:
$1.9 million for the Air Force’s “holistic DEI transformation and training”
$6 million to the University of Montana to “strengthen American democracy by bridging divides”
$3.5 million for “support to DEI groups” from the Defense Human Resources Activity
$1.6 million to the University of Florida to study “social and institutional detriments of vulnerability and resilience to climate hazards in African Sahel”
