Disagree with part of your statement. While I agree that a good businessman could do just about any Government job, I've seen too many folks from the civilian sector come into Government jobs just to stay for a few months or a couple years and then leave in disgust. I'm sure Hound will argue the point, but the Government is so screwed up that it drives them away. My best customer right now is one who will probably soon go that way.

In the DoD it is a stifling of initiative - not so bad in the Air Force because it is a relatively new service, but the other services are so tied to tradition that innovation most often takes a back seat.

Outside the DoD it is raw politics. I have worked several security tasks for Federal agencies outside the DoD (DHHS, TSA, Treasury) and one thing is universal: When faced with a decision the political consideration takes top priority. Somewhere down the chain is the "is it the right thing to do" question.
