Как Пентагон убил план сэкономить 125 миллиардов на ненужных расходах
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 study laid out a range of options. At the low end, just by renegotiating service contracts and hiring less-expensive workers, the Pentagon could save $75 billion over five years. At the high end, by adopting more aggressive productivity targets, it could save twice as much.
After a discussion, the full board voted to recommend a middle option: to save $125 billion over five years.

US defense budget (2016): 597b
so we're talking 4%. huge savings? yeah (no, not really)
now compare that to never starting the Iraq war. например
