The argument i'm making is that no matter who comes in, so long as they dont have a dedicated and passionate lead, it will be all for nothing. I dont argue that the contractors are/can be part of the problem but from my experience, the government _IS_ the limiting factor, especially when they say that they're the systems integrator, not the contractor as is in this case. I did my damnest to write/architect/design the best system that I could but if the government forces you to use RH JBoss 2 versions behind the latest, just because they have a support license then refuses to buy JRebel because it was too expensive after paying tens of thousands of dollars on said JBoss, and then changes the system requirements every 6 months you're doomed. Worst of all we were _NOT_ allowed to talk to end users. We can only talk through our Task Order Managers and supposed Technical Leads (that have little or extremely dated technical experience).
