Turns out the US military also buys lots of commercial off the shelf stuff, including vast quantities of #10 letter envelopes for their mail. The US Defense establishment has thoroughly accepted the fact that they can't out-innovate commercial companies in a commercially viable space. Using the COTS top 5 or 10 is entirely reasonable in such cases. We fly troops on Delta and American too. I bet a few even flew in Boeing 737 Maxes. Perfect? No. Excellent decision among some number of possibly better decisions, that could have been made at the time? Yes.
