Seriously now...Hearing the pain here frustrates me because i am actually in favor of paying my taxes because i know when handled properly then roads, bridges, infrastructure, other things, and yes, the right tools for our military are done then everyone benefits...but when things are not managed right, it chafes me so much because the pain ripples all the way through from civil servants unable to do their job, to military folks not having tools to help defend us, to civilians being put at risk while going over unsafe bridges, to commerce not being efficient because roads suck, etc.
Just from reading your comment, sounds like the biggest problem is the vendor overlap here. MS Endpoint Manager, MacAfee and Tanium all seem to be doing the same thing.
This seems like scope creep on an epic scale. It's almost like someone came to USAF IT every 3 years and said "we signed a contract with X vendor, add it to the laptops".
