I find this hard to believe.


The Pentagon pays a retired general $1,600 a day as an 'adviser' to its Joint Forces Command and this general works for seven defense contractors as either a consultant or board member. Doesn't this sound bizarre to you?

Apparently, this general is a fairly good marketing guy as he was able to sell the Marines on a video surveillance system that did not work. And, this is not a unique situation. 130 generals and admirals collect their pension from the military, are paid as advisers to the military and also work for defense contractors.

Isn't there something wrong here?
