It looks like the Pentagon is just in a lesson-learning mood lately. While they’re busily reviewing whether the carefully-orchestrated use of military analysts was improper, the Army is reviewing whether it should have known better than to award a $300 million contract to supply arms to the Afghan security forces to a company run by a 22 year-old.
As The New York Times reports, the key lesson seems to be that if a contractor’s price seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
