Original Note:
OP misleadingly cites The Hill/GAO to claim Pentagon can't "account for 60% of assets" Neither source mentions it https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4992913-pentagon-fails-7th-audit-in-a-row-but-says-progress-made/ https://www.gao.gov/reports-testimonies A 2023 analysis did make a similar claim, as audits found accounts of assets managed by contractors rely on the latter's estimates, a flaw flagged since 1981 https://responsiblestatecraft.org/pentagon-audit-2666415734/
