What an odd way to say you agree with the article. It's not a contest to see who can be the worst use of taxpayer money.
If you want to make the argument that the "Iran war" isn't worth the cost then fine, but at least it's in pursuit of a goal (securing international trade routes, oil supplies, the USD as the world reserve currency, minimizing nuclear weapons proliferation).
Fraud is just fraud. Not only is it 100% wasteful, not only is it money that should have gone to an actual deserving person, but it undermines confidence in the programs, and it funds illicit behavior that has negative effects we can't even gauge.
