Says Wikipedia, and my recollection, the first two flights of Falcon 1 were purchased by the DoD, i.e. the US government, so that's not correct.

I stand corrected. Sort of since the DoD wasn't really a customer in those cases. And the reference listed doesn't specify that the first flight was paid for by the DoD.
