> I’ve witnessed vendors sell the same $100M offering to two services under a different name so those services could independently lobby for resources. I’ve witnessed one service sabotage another’s cyber operation (both under the same ‘Joint’ Force Headquarters) simply because that service did not receive credit. I’ve seen the services’ acquisition communities spend over $1B on poorly defined and duplicative cyber requirements to deliver tools that will never be used. Every effort to unify resources and address national priorities is undermined and resisted by the services who perceive no benefit to their domains.
That sounds exactly like I would expect the world of defense contracting to work. I bet the same kind of thing happens when Raytheon sells the same missile to the Air Force, Army, and Navy

You would think the various military academies would be pretty high on the list with free tuition and an officer paycheck immediately following graduation.
