Examine Military Waste
by director on Mar.10, 2009, under Peace, economy
One of the most under-reported stories of the economic recession is the role of military waste. Trillions of dollars are poured into the creation of immense, elaborate weapons that fail to actually benefit the American people. If this amount of money had been put into areas such as sustainable energy development instead, our nation might not be in a recession today.
One site, entitled simply Military Waste, does a good job of organizing information about the immense financial, environmental and human waste organized by the Pentagon. From the outrageous out-of-date F-22 Raptor to the neglect in the weak-skinned Humvee, Military Waste pulls no punches.
