After 40 years working for The Boeing Company, this story does not necessarily surprise me, but this short report is a bit lacking in details. I suspect the Army people doing oversight are underfunded for doing a good job for taxpayers, which helps channel funds to the corporate political donors.

All the employees are required to take frequent ethics refresher courses; how could this happen? ;-)
