Not the fax, ma'am : DoD out of cash to buy new machine

The office that oversees the most powerful military in history (not to mention the best-funded) is unable to project when its single fax machine will once again be operational.

Given its budget of a mere $31.8 billion for maintenance and operations and last year's backlog of more than 1,000 overdue FOIA requests for the Secretary's office alone, we urge the Defense Department to move into the 21st century.
