Apparently they cannot get a full accounting or audit from the Department of Defense at least until 2017, according to GAO.

Until then, the DoD budget should be at 1% of the total budget effective immediately, and the other funds (and future funds) are diverted from the DoD to other immediate needs, including education, employment, infrastructure and mental health (ALL GOP Senate/House should be examined for sanity)

Let the DoD hold a bake sale to buy a bomber or two.

"Varying" means changing the compensation up or down. former9thward Jan 2013 #8
