> DoD wouldn’t deal with them directly

Why wouldn't they deal with them directly? They already do!

I understand being cynical, but you have to admit you're making a satire of this system, no matter how ridiculous it is in reality.

I’m not being cynical, I’m speaking from direct experience. Satire, as it turns out, is not quite as inventive as government bureaucrats.

I waa not aware the DoD directly purchases hardware from Microsoft.
