Cambodians Paid For Nonexistent Troops, GAO Reports
The General Accounting Office estimates Cambodia army commanders siphoned between 750000 and 1100000 dollars in pay for nonexistent troops during January. The practice has continued since 1971, despite U.S. and Cambodian officials knowing about it but failing to stop it. It is unclear how much came from U.S. aid, which totaled 56 million dollars for military pay in 1971 and 1972.
