Pentagon Announces First-Ever Audit Of The Department Of Defense
"The Defense Department is starting the first agency-wide financial audit in its history," the Pentagon's news service says, announcing that it's undertaking an immense task that has been sought, promised and delayed for years.
Of the tally that is starting this week, chief Pentagon spokesperson Dana W. White said, "It demonstrates our commitment to fiscal responsibility and maximizing the value of every taxpayer dollar that is entrusted to us."
"Beginning in 2018, our audits will occur annually, with reports issued Nov. 15," the Defense Department's comptroller, David L. Norquist, said.
The Defense Department has famously never been audited, despite receiving hundreds of billions of dollars annually and having more than $2.2 trillion in assets.

No, no need, my dear fluffy khallow! You are paid by the Department of Agriculture, also know as the Department of the Interior, blessings be upon Zinke and his transportation expense account! So I am not worried about you! Well, I am worried about your mental health and level of education, but at least you will not be homeless and living in a thermal spring, well, at least not until the Republican tax bill passes. Glad to have known you, khallow! As Ronald Reagan said, there a tons of ads for jobs in the newspapers, like for exotic dancers in Vegas, right in your neighborhood, khallow! Work on those abs, my boy!
And, oh, for those of you keeping score, aristarchus could be khallow, because khallow is just too ideologically correct to actually be real. Aristarchus, on the other hand, is a 2353 year old Samian Greek. So there is that.
