The depiction of the military's IT as nearly impregnable overlooks the widespread issues with outdated infrastructure and cumbersome policies that significantly impair its effectiveness. While I'll acknowledge that certain areas within the US military might experience the level of threat and security sophistication described, the broader landscape is fraught with legacy systems that struggle to integrate modern solutions or best practices. These outdated systems/workflows/bureaucracy often result in inefficiencies and vulnerabilities rather than providing superior security. You never hear about the US military getting broken into, not because it doesn't happen, but because it is classified when it does. Avoiding public embarrassment is the No.1 use of classification, resulting in this type of belief in their competence. I'd put Facebook ahead of the US military any day of the week, and it ain't close (who incidentally are a payment processor).
