Shortfalls in monitoring by American officials mean the U.S. cannot account for more than $1 billion in weapons and military equipment provided to Ukraine to fight invading Russian forces.
I’ve seen dod finance. The amount of paperwork to move money within an agency is ridiculous. Between is even more. If they don’t have a receipt, it’s deliberate or gross negligence.
Lol, what? Do you have any idea how many people work for the DoD in finance or adjacent to finance? The entire Program Management track is huge. It’s not a crime or even recommended to pretend you don’t work for or with the DoD. It’s very clear what is classified information, CUI, or financially privileged. And there’s TONS of contractors who interface with the DoD in financial matters.
DoD finance is all about bureaucracy: just like most of the DoD and US government itself. There’s so many hoops to jump through to move money it’s insane. Money expires yearly in many cases. That old adage of units spending money in September is somewhat true: sending money you didn’t spend back at the end of the fiscal year is frowned upon. On and on and on I and anyone else with even a toe dipped in could go.
Shit, most DoD finance is public: the NDAA lists top-level spending allocations. Really it’s just non-acknowledged programs where the funding isn’t public. Which is where I imagine a lot of the shenanagins get up to. Your paranoia is silly.

If you had “seen” it, you’d know not to say that randomly on a public social media website.
You’d also know what you’re talking about…

Til being a low level bureaucrat or military member is unheard of and absolutely never talked about online.
