Pentagon buries evidence of $125 billion in bureaucratic waste
“The Defense Department was spending $134 billion a year on business operations — about 50 percent more than McKinsey had guessed at the outset.
“Almost half of the Pentagon’s back-office personnel — 457,000 full-time employees — were assigned to logistics or supply-chain jobs. That alone exceeded the size of United Parcel Service’s global workforce.
“The Pentagon’s purchasing bureaucracy counted 207,000 full-time workers. By itself, that would rank among the top 30 private employers in the United States.
“More than 192,000 people worked in property management. About 84,000 people held human-resources jobs.”
The military feared Congress would use the confidential data as an excuse to slash defense spending.
