The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) meme typically satirizes the massive, often convoluted annual legislation that determines the United States military budget. Because the bill is passed every year with bipartisan support, it becomes a magnet for 'pork barrel' spending and controversial amendments that have little to do with defense, such as UFO disclosure requirements or specific social policies. Memes often focus on the absurdity of its length, the trillions of dollars involved, or the secret riders hidden deep within the text. It is a staple in political and libertarian internet circles used to highlight government excess and the complex machinery of the military-industrial complex.
