The DoD is a huge organization, so I'd guess they use almost everything.

> The DoD is a huge organization

That's an understatement if there ever was one.

Woah that’s insane, I didn’t realize it was THAT big. And that’s not even counting the zillions of contractors and consultants. I live in the DC area and I know a ton of people who work for places that contract for the DOD, and only like 2 people who actually work there

I think I'm even more amazed that Walmart has almost as many employees as the DoD.

There's a reason it's the largest budget item outside entitlements. There's a lot of money flowing into DoD (and Military Industrial Complex vendors).
