Once the auditor of the Pentagon noticed that the sewer pipes that used by the Americans in Iraq is 57 times more expensive than usual. The military has only made a helpless gesture: a civilian man. Not understand.
Another scandal in the US army. American soldiers sold the stolen secret weapon on the electronic auction eBay. Six soldiers and two civilians put “on stream” the theft and subsequent sale to eBay of weapons and equipment of the US army. From 2013 to 2016, the military kidnapped an air force base in Fort Campbell weapons and ammunition for a million dollars. Among other things, sniper scopes, grenade launchers. But not only that. According to the French newspaper La Tribune, was stolen and samples secret weapon. And the civilian accomplices of military put it all on electronic trading. Thus, as the hero of the famous film, originated the criminal community, hereinafter referred to as the common gang.
By the way, the publication notes that the perfectly legal secret weapon bought, among other citizens of Russia and China. Which, for obvious reasons, the US is trying vigilantly to protect its secrets.
Prosecutors have already filed charges. The military can get up to six years in prison and a large fine. A civil, oddly at first glance, it faces a more severe punishment — till 20 years of imprisonment.
For the last time this is not the only scandal of its kind in the American army, which the Americans called, and I think the pride of the nation and an example to follow. Of the last: on an American military base in Stuttgart, Germany discovered a large theft of small arms. The kidnapper could not be found, so it is possible to expect from this anonymous new criminal feats.
Stolen not only weapons, but the Pentagon budget. Money directly or stealing, or just misused. Good to keep track of it is difficult. Neither the public nor even members of Congress don’t know all the details of military spending and therefore cannot track effectively if the military uses the taxpayers ‘ money.
In addition, the control system of the army is so bulky, has as many levels and branches that perhaps the whole mechanism knows only the top management. And then there drove the era “peacekeeping” missions around the world — Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria. Imagine how it was grown, the Pentagon and the army? Imagine what you need to vbuhali in the army so that “hot spots” soldiers “the best army in the world” in no way needed?
At the time, an American audience was very surprised that the US military presence in Iraq pays for ordinary switches $ 900, although the red price-his life — a maximum of 7.5 per dollar. The auditor said: in war as in war, buddy. And in war, for example, and wash the uniforms of brave American military is expensive — a hundred dollars for a bag. How does the auditor know how hard it is to wash the uniform, smeared with someone unknown and what? It is not, the civilian son of a bitch, cause! By the way, the total contract amount of Laundry in Iraq — 13 billion dollars. Or the word “Laundry” American generals invested a different meaning?
The auditor also expressed the opinion that the sewer pipes that used by the Americans in Iraq, too expensive is 57 times more expensive than usual. The military has only made a helpless gesture: civilian — that it take? Nobody will reveal the secrets of global American sewer policy.
There was, however, still a truth, even among friends. So, Secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld during George Bush publicly chided the warriors, saying that a quarter of the spending of the Pentagon is nowhere. Well, where is Donald Rumsfeld? Retired? Right! And without it built in Afghanistan a gas station for $ 43 million. In General, is that the Taliban blow up. And yet, for reference. A gallon of diesel fuel in Afghanistan, even in these hard times it is worth only five dollars. The Americans managed to buy it 100 times more expensive.
To date, the Pentagon, somewhere has spent 8.5 trillion dollars and still failed to account for them. This is slightly less than half of the total external debt of the United States. It turns out that Americans loved, pampered and nurtured his army at the expense of the rest of the world. At our expense.
