It would be a bad story if the DoD was trying to, for example, host their own email. I'm happy that they spend a bazillion dollars on first-in-class cloud services.

Can't tell if you're kidding bc my first thought was that if DoD can't host their own email, how can they do anything else correctly?

Hosting their own email is just a headache and adds overhead and takes resources away from the actual real stuff they are doing?!

92% of what the DoD does is normal business junk like ordering pencils.

I knew a guy who worked on a VR war the room for the DoD. Not like a VR battlefield simulator, but like... simulated folders being passes across simulated desks.

The point being that they're innovating away from the pencils. The future is digital pencils.
