"why is DOD buying ERPs without deliverables for ensuring these systems can pass an audit?"

"there can be no doubt that effective financial management in the Federal Government today requires a knowledgeable and skilled workforce"

"my sense is that DOD has, instead, been using that unique authority to hire the same types of civilians"
