What's ironic here is that groups like USAF are constantly pressured to adopt private industry models to be more "economically efficient" and completely ignoring that resiliency is a requirement baked into the high cost. I understand why both take the approaches they do but it seems everyone holds private industry barely running with no resiliency optimizations above all else, which don't make sense in all contexts. Corner cutting is fine in many contexts, especially when you know the side effects of their failures which may be quite insignificant.
