Total U.S. DOD spending not what we are meant to think

The Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA)has a new report out that looks at U.S. DOD budget history in 2014 dollars.

The quantity DOD spending isn't really a sad story. The incompetenceof its' management is.

A quote by Winslow Wheeler about this report sums it up well.

"The next time you hear a general or admiral say he cannot manage a budget so low as that in sequestration, tell him he's right; he can't manage it, and he shouldn't be allowed to."

Winslow has a read on this topic that should be considered required reading.
