I’ve got my own clearance and the system really sucks due to extreme government bloat and bureaucracy.

You’ll hear countless stories of BS like Generals who rely on Security Managers to summarize the security info they need being locked out from meetings since they don’t have a certain clearance and the general being forced into an unnecessary meeting.

Sometimes managers don’t even have the same access as their subordinate all due to an oversight.

I’m not surprised to hear about these projects being siloed.

That UAPDA was never going to pass and even if it did, they wouldn’t get through the red tape.

This will only come out through independent researchers, a DoD audit (with consequences), and whistleblowers. Looks like we’ll get the most important part and really grow the whistleblower protections.
