Battleland has dealt with both Andy Krepinevich and Ann Sauer while covering national-security issues in Washington for more than 30 years. On Thursday, it learned that Sauer had collected, or will collect, some $1 million as a parting gift from her decade of work at Lockheed before returning to an armed-services committee job with Sen. John McCain, the Arizona Republican who is the senior GOP member on the panel. A little while later, we discovered Krepinevich pockets about $865,000 in salary and benefits each year from the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, the think tank he runs, according to Greg Jaffe in the Washington Post.

Planely, Battleland is in the wrong line of work.
