military industrial complex i think

  No, that's why Boeing, Raytheon, et al are impervious to their mistakes. McK is impervious because they contract in such a way as to never actually have to deliver anything. A sea wolf sub is a tangible deliverable. You can tell it's not fit for purpose in a physical fashion. You can always BS around the kinds of soft deliverables that are specialties of McK.

    McKinsey is part of the military industrial complex (though these days we need to loop in "educational" too): https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/02/spies-intelligence-community-mckinsey-1390863 https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/02/spies-intelligence... Still, you haven't addressed how they seem to remain popular despite being ineffective. My sense is it's a "nobody ever got fired for hiring McKinsey" kind of deal and they're just on the Washington nepotistic short list.
