As someone who&#x27;s done DoD contracting for many years working for different agencies... I have to agree with parent. The amount of competent people I ran into, on the government and contractor side, could be counted on a single hand. I&#x27;ve reported and seen so many security holes that were never fixed it&#x27;s ridiculous. I&#x27;d like to imagine the work done by our group was top notch but even if it objectively is it&#x27;s rare to work on any DoD project without 10+ contractors all with varying levels of competence.
