aaaaaand of course, they were dead fucking wrong. Look at what has happened to the Post 9/11 GI Bill, and tell me that outsourcing it to a professional company like QTC or ADP wouldn't have been more effective? The VA cancelled its plans to outsource in NOVEMBER. It is now OCTOBER the next year and they haven't been able to come up with a system to handle this situation with any sort of efficiency or elegance at all!

And, of course, all these members of Congress, as well as the veterans' advocacy groups in play are all now bitching at the VA for not getting the checks out on time. Wow, there's a fucking surprise. The VA is a bureacuracy, it's not an IT development corporation. Did the protracted development of NMCI teach these people nothing?

Hey, I'm a veteran and I'm waiting for my check. The VA is issuing emergency checks this week because of their ABJECT FAILURE TO ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION. If they had outsourced the program early in the game, they could have had it in beta for six months before opening the system to veterans. But now the VA claims processors are manually transcribing claims from one set of computers to another. What the fuck is this?

So they trust the private sector with guns in foreign countries, but can't trust them to write a computer program?
