there's a good portion of the DoD bureaucracy that does not exist to get warfighters downrange and on-target
No, actually there aren't. Whether or not they are successful or efficient is irrelevant. The money funding both the super efficient successful targeting system and the failed warfighter support system are fungible and come from the same "color" or pot of money.
It's not zealotry, it's understanding the purpose and mission of the organization.
Also the VA isn't part of the DoD. It's a Cabinet level agency.
Frankly it's getting annoying listening to people in tech talk about Defense matters as though they are authoritative.
