Pentagon dollars are essentially seen as a different kind of funding that doesn't have to stand for itself and make an argument for itself in the house of Congress.

The most important thing you need to know about the Pentagon is that it is not in charge of today's wars but rather tomorrow's wars.

The Pentagon can't even audit its own books. It doesn't even know where its money is going. And we refuse to have the tough forces go on the Pentagon so that at least they are efficient with the money they're spending.

The thing that really struck me was how many firms that we think of as strictly civilian had ties to the Pentagon. Companies like Apple, Starbucks, Oakley the sunglasses manufacturer. Even Google, and a lot of big corporations like PepsiCo, Colgate-Palmolive, and Nestle, that you don't normally think of as defense contractors.

There's nothing efficient about innovation.

The Pentagon today will not allow any of these people who work for the Pentagon, to talk to the media. They have gagged them from talking to members of Congress.

There is no plausible theory under which the record of the Pentagon Papers can be interpreted as relating to the national defense.

The claim that the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked because fundamentalists hate our prosperity and freedom is a ridiculous lie.

Energy innovation is not a nationalistic game.

Beginning to dismantle the Pentagon would save $1 trillion a year - a small government proposal if ever there was one.
