John McCain, Defense Acquisition Oversight Removal
Senator John McCain sponsors a bill (S. 1735) that shifts decision-making authority for major military acquisitions directly to service executives, potentially removing layers of oversight. The discussion touches on the Pentagon's inability to be audited and references the "missing" $2.3 trillion announced by Donald Rumsfeld on September 10, 2001.
