It had just spent billions of dollars buying heavily armored personnel carriers designed to stand up to insurgent attacks only to find that it had run out of wars to use them in

They have been trying so there's no a lack of effort to blame it on. Russia was Putin on the blitz and stole their bling bling.
Can we get a refund on those urban assault vehicles? Nah, they'll just paint 'em black and give them to FEMA.

So that's where the governments deficit is coming from: Government department X buys item. Government department Y buys item from X. Government pays twice, and probably doesn't collect taxes on either purchase. D'oh!
