For nearly two decades, the US Department of Defense has concealed waste and fraud totaling $8.5 trillion, according to a new report by Reuters.

Since 1996, the American taxpayer money that Congress has allocated towards the Pentagon has never been accounted for, the investigatve report found. Military agencies failed to supply a clear monthly account of the money they spent. Instead, they provided fake numbers that would match up accordingly with what the Treasury department expected to see.

The Defense Finance and Accounting Services (DFAS) found that “a lot of times there were issues of numbers being inaccurate," said former DFAS employee Linda Woodford.
