Yeah, I have a seriously hard time believing someone responsible for a multibillion dollar defence project writes that shit.

Sadly, I see it as in the realm of possibility.

Gov contracting is an ecosystem on its own and those that figure out the bureaucratic hoops can survive a long time without needed much technical knowledge. Some of those individuals lose touch with what is going on outside of the defense industrial base.

I have a hard time believing that they only spent $15k on a prototype for a multimillion dollar defense project.

  • It might be he did, or was planning to do, a bid on a government project that wouldn't have stood a chance in hell, but he already imagined he was going to win that bid. And then stuff happened and he felt cheated out of his chance.

I once had a guy who ran an enterprise supplying software to the defence sector try to swing a punch at me in a meeting, so I can believe it.
