Big ideas for the Pentagon, going nowhere

Armed Services Committee member Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., wants to slam the revolving door shut on retired military officers and senior Pentagon bureaucrats going to work for the same defense contractors they did official business with on behalf of the government.

Her Department of Defense Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act would limit the influence of contractors on the military and constrain foreign influence on retired senior military officers, all in the name of “greater transparency.”
