Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is razing the in-house Pentagon think tank that Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) accused last month of “egregious waste, fraud and abuse.”
Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement Thursday, “As part of the Department’s ongoing commitment to strengthening our national defense, the Secretary of Defense has directed the disestablishment of the Office of Net Assessment (ONA) and the development of a plan to rebuild it in alignment with the Department’s strategic priorities.”
“This decision ensures that our resources are focused on the most pressing national security challenges while maintaining accountability and efficiency,” added Parnell.
ONA personnel will be reassigned to mission-critical roles within the Defense Department, noted the spokesman. more
Is it really a good idea to put people who have been contributing to a hotbed of “egregious waste, fraud and abuse” into mission critical roles? Wouldn’t making them latrine orderlies make more sense? Or, silly me, how about firing them?
They could make all the urinals and shitters shine if they were latrine orderlies.
No, put them pointy heads on the pointy end as mine detectors.
They are pretty much polyps in the colon of our government!
Administer the usual treatment…
It just occurred to me that even latrine orderly isn’t a good place for these people. Maintaining an uninterrupted supply of toilet paper is about as “mission critical” as it gets.
One sheet or two sheets, one to wipe and the second for a shine. Don’t give the job to Cheryl Crow she’ll only give you sheet.
