Fraud, Waste, and Abuse in the military. What is the worst you have seen or heard of in your career?

"Burning ammo" because they don't want to have to count rounds when they get back.

The Army should have some type of Craigslist where other units can list their excess equipment and can be signed for by other units.

I accidentally spent $300,000 washing an aircraft.

One of the best was a couple years ago when they drained lake Kyle out here at Campbell and found more discarded brass and ammo than you could fathom. I don't defend the actions of those who may have done it, but I will say that if it weren't an over-regulated and unnecessary PITA process to deal with ammo then it would be less likely that every unit doing training out there would give it to Chuck.

The biggest FWA I have witnessed, however controversial this may be, is in fact every combat utility uniform change since we wore BDU. I extend this to more branches than just Army, but specifically the ACU has got to be among the biggest in history. The money spent on equipping the Army with what was a known failed camouflage pattern could have been used to give every active duty Soldier a million dollar bonus and paid for every active duty spouse to attend a 4 year university, and still left enough to cover the DOD budget disparity, negating the need for ideas towards cutting benefits. Just saying.
