| #12 Just a "Representative" screwing with a very busy General so he can look important. |

| #10 the mess that is the military IT world It's gotten worse - they've added on that Keystone Cops three-ring pick-up team known as Cyber Security-Information Assurance. |

| #9 Anyone else remember ADA? How'd that work out? As I recall it was the cannonical example of scope gallup (the hell with creep) in gov't requirements. |

| #8 There's really no reason the DOD shouldn't crank out their own Operating System for All Purposes at All Times Even When it Snows. I mean shit they got the cash, is it easier to bitch out Microsoft? |

| #7 btw - this is Rep Duncan Duane Hunter, son of the distinguished former congresscritter from my district. He's doing a good job following in his Dad's footsteps and policies. We like him |

| #6 They use Windows, right. Cause the start up loading fits nicely right in between the second and third cup of coffee in the morning. Cut off their fuel, cut off their coffee, and they're immobile. |

| #3 Having worked at Naval Air Systems, as the lead systems auditor, trying to integrate the top commercial accounting and logistics software package into the mess that is the military IT world I can testify to the bizzare, hyper-political*, NIH syndrome riddled reality that exists. It is amazing that anything at all gets done. **political as in real politicians trying to feather their own and their contributors nests AND political as in intra-service office politics. |

| #2 I would bet a month's retirement that as we speak the FBI is using Palantir to build a highly detailed network investigation of the Boston bombers and their network of contacts. Providing a time-phased visual link analysis of all available reporting, people, photographs, cell phone numbers, physical locations, travel, and kinetic event reporting would be quite impressive to see. |

| #1 With that, Mr. Hunter, who has received new information on the common ground systemÂ’s failures. You mean like.... DCGS will not ingest Palantir Link Analysis Investigations and make them available in their "data storage brains" for user requests ? The Army has spent gazzilions on DCGS and it is little more than a cumbersome, proprietary piece of crap that requires constant contractor mentoring to operate and Rep. Hunter knows it. On the other hand, Odierno believes female soldier should be RANGERS. |
