I'm sorry but I just don't believe that. I'm not calling you a liar since you (or I) could have heard wrong but the simple fact is there's too many ways for a software program to mine data for the Military not to at least look at the source code before deploying it. So I can't see them implementing closed source software

The military gets to conduct Information Assurance (IA) reviews. These are tightly controlled so that only the IA reviewers get to look at the source code, and they are bound by heavy-duty NDAs. This gives DoD the opportunity to be sure that the code is safe, without giving them free reign to do as they please with the code. This process most definitely does not give the government the ability to treat the code as "open source," in the sense that one can freely modify, reuse, or re-purposing open source code.
