The Pentagon has nearly $1-trillion worth of land- they even know where it is and don't plan on look

For starters, the Army has developed its own software to checks for errors in the Pentagon’s real estate database—basically, the Army program takes the land and buildings the ground combat branch knows it has and compares them to what the Defense Department says the Army has.
During the GAO’s visit with the Army, officials from the ground combat branch showed off the program. The investigators told the officials which buildings they planned to inspect. The Army representatives booted up their software and plugged in one of the addresses.
The program found 45,000 inconsistencies. That is to say, compared to the actual property in question, the military’s main listing for this one address was off by tens of thousands of small details. Now multiply that by half a million addresses and it becomes clear how befuddled the Pentagon is.
The Army also provided the GAO access to the Army’s own internal real estate database. Investigators noted that the Army’s database claimed that service officials reviewed facilities in the years 0012, 1776, 2201 and 3013. The Army promised to fix the error.[/QUOTE]

I guess this confirms Fallout isn't canon.
1776 being there just sounds like someone goofing off/being lazy
Oh crap, they found the SHIELD bases!
In all seriousness, these type of record keeping mixups happen with all sorts of large organizations that have such a huge amount of facilities, it's hardly a problem unique to the military, megacorporations leave abandoned buildings behind all the time without most of them even realizing it. The way this article tries to paint this as some glaring flaw unique to the DoD is more comical than the errors themselves.
That porta potty in the middle of the forest in colorado?
Pentagon property.
Someone needs to create an audit program for the Pentagon. Theres a lot of money that just goes missing

Defense Secretaries [I]hate[/I] him!
Imagine how crap it'd be to buy a piece of land from someone, only for it to turn out that the Pentagon actually owns it. And the way you find out about it is when they start conducting live fire exercises.

You could sell lemonade to the troops though.
