Goverment Does Study Of A Study About Studies

In 2010 the Pentagon did a study to see how much it costs to do studies. Now the General Accounting Office has studied that study of studies and concluded it was a flop.

Two years later, the Pentagon review is still continuing, which prompted Congress to ask the GAO to look over the Pentagon’s shoulder. What they found lacked military precision.

The GAO found only nine studies that had been scrutinized by the Pentagon review, but the military was unable to “readily retrieve documentation” for six of the reports.
