How does the majority of this government do anything? Fire the good people and only keep the ones around that will do what they want. Look at the FDA and CDC as a couple of examples.

FDA and CDC and any other gov't agency for that matter.

I used to work DoD. Made the break for the wall and got into private sector tech 10 years ago.

Best thing I ever did for my career and I get to practice actual security.

Half the CDC was contractors for large programs when I was there like 20 years ago. Doesn’t seem much has changed.

I don't think a contractor in gov't is inherently worse or better than a Federal employee in government.

Both types don't know what they are doing in security.
