Pentagon culture is a subculture of the military, an influential one, but hardly as dominant as portrayed. Wifi, cell service and laptops are mostly distractions in an acquisition environment. Being on a source selection is like being on a jury- you're not allowed to do your own research, you have to choose based on the evidence presented. These are rules Congress passes to make sure everything is 'fair', if you want to reform the acquisition process you have to go higher than the poor military stuck implementing the system. The rest of the article is spot on, though the diversity argument is flimsy.
