They tend to think it is OPDEC.
Plus the MSM is so dumb that they mangle the data thru ignorance and political spin to confuse things.
The security czars are so bureacratic that TRADOC use my open source ISF OOB since it is easier than clearing an unclas version of the official US Army version. They are not the only ones - I gave the military permission to use the ISF OOB 4 years ago.
Our only real security is our opponents' disbelief that we could be so stupid as to operate this way...
LOL - but think of all the opportunities for misinformation.
The catch is, when your password expires and you failed to update it before it does regardless of teh fact that you NEVER use it, you can't get back into AKO with your CAC if you forgot your password to change it, you must go through the 7 levels of AKO helpdesk hell, and try to remember your secret questions to prove that you are you, regardless of the fact that they can just SEND you an encrypted email to your us.army.mil address, and read it in your personal Outlook to click a link to prove you are you.
The moron on the phone actually told me when this happened to me that "AKO does not believe CAC encryption is not good enough to prove that you are you"..
I said, "Yeah, but I can see how guessing blue is my favorite color is".
Our taxdollars at work, folks.
Is that possibly a result of Affirmative Action? Or just normal "Help Desk" mentality?

As for AKO, It's an artifact of having senior people with little understanding driving a process that is overlain by the unknowing changing contracts written by the eager-but-not-quite-current, where the contract sections were written by different groups who didn't properly coordinate their work. Said contract was overseen by people who knew *exactly* what they wanted, stated so loudly and firmly enough that the executing contract shut up, saluted the flagpole and gave them *exactly* what they asked for, vice what they probably really wanted. Because the people supervising the implementation of that contract made sure they did.
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
