As someone who has been in the private sector his whole life, and not had much experience with government/military work, it’s always fascinated me how often these projects end up way over budget, way WAY late, and fail to meet every requirement. I’ve always had this morbid curiosity to see first hand how messed up everything has to be at these places in order to fail so badly and so consistently. I’d love to understand how companies can win contract after contract and yet be so bad at delivering. Reading these articles feels like watching car accidents.
