This is a perfect example of how government works in Washington. The Pentagon commissions a study to study how much it cost to conduct all the studies it ordered in 2010. The Government Accountability Office then conducts its own study to study the Pentagon's study. The GAO's study determines that the Pentagon's study of studies was a poor use of time and money.

Yeah. Like none of us could have seen that coming.

So what was the total cost of all these studies? It's still being studied.
