(CNN)The US Army made trillions of dollars of accounting mistakes and often did not have the receipts or invoices needed to support figures in its budget, according to a scathing Pentagon report.

The audit, conducted by the Defense Department's Office of Inspector General, found that the Army erroneously made $2.8 trillion in adjustments in the third quarter of 2015 to its Army general fund - one of the main accounts used to fund the service. The error amount skyrocketed to $6.5 trillion for all of last year, the report said.

The June report, first disclosed by Reuters on Friday, found "unreliable" data was used to prepare the financial statements, leading to the possibility that the Army's finances were "materially misstated."

The criminality and corruption in our government and defense establishment is staggering - trillions are missing and it's due to 'errors', 'mistakes' and 'adjustments'. =)) The last time something like this was announced was on the morning of September 10, 2001 and the next day those investigating Rumsfeld's 'missing' $2.3 trillion were all killed, the computer servers the records were on destroyed and the investigative case files gone forever.

Yes, that's all true but we're going to continue to drone brown people around the world because We're #1! USA! USA! USA!

I didn't know we had trillions of people working at the Pentagon. Are you sure we want to know where they went?

if something happens, which I doubt it will. It would be on a Tuesday just like 9/11, not that that means anything, just an observation.
