In a lengthy article in The Washington Post comes he revelation that the Pentagon quashed an internal study that exposed $125 billion in administrative waste.
The Pentagon was concerned that if the report, which it commissioned itself from the Defense Business Board, a federal advisory panel of corporate executives, and consultants from McKinsey and Company, were made public, Congress would slash the defense budget. The report, issued in January 2015, would not have required layoffs of civil servants or reductions in military personnel, but rather cut the budget through attrition and early retirements, as well as finding lower-priced contractors.
