The way budgets work are, for a lack of a better word, interesting. You get x budget for a certain time frame (Usually quarterly,) whatever you do not spend is lost. That doesnt help that distributors sell items at ridiculous prices for no reason to the govt at any level (including military.) This is not a new concept. Nobody just listens.

Another thing to consider.
If im sending 15 guys on a classified mission. I still have to pay for their gear, transportation, payroll, etc.
But I don’t wanna report whats being purchased and when, but I still have to account for the funds spent.
So maybe I “bought 15 coffee cups”….
