American aggression overseas, however much it may be in aid of moral causes, 
is unmatched by its awful armaments accounting at home. If one wishes to be 
aware of the most egregious levels of American aggression, look at the artless 
accounting appeasement that has continued for decades among those who claim 
accounting and auditing expertise and the American military establishment.

The military-industrial complex of contractors and their aides, accomplices, 
and accessories have failed to produce understandable, comprehensive, audited 
financial statements for American military activities for as long as anyone can 
remember. This financial and managerial reporting void should be a source of 
perpetual embarrassment to anyone who claims to have any sense of federal 
fiscal or taxpayer concern.
