All that money goes to Defense contractors who have the most beautiful hookers (or handsome if you go that way), the best coke, the sweetest "investment" deals, bags of cash if need it, and can bundle a couple of million in campaign donations at the drop of a hat. The "Triad" is just a way to channel money to defense contractors.
For all the money we spend on our military, when push comes to shove they are pathetically average, if that.

I once made a thread questioning if money can ever really be wasted. The hookers get their money and go buy stuff at the store, the drug dealers buy nice cars with big wheels, the execs buy private jets and yatchs etc. It all fuels the economy.

That being said, if the money was managed properly, a few less drug dealers might have nice cars, a few less execs might have big mansions and the whole country might have a shot at basic health care.
