You must not be a contractor. The DoD can do just about anything it wants, and contractors will obey. It’s all about the $$$

What you say may be painfully true - but I don't think it is legal.

Yes. You are correct. I worked for a large information systems DoD contractor after I retired. I was somewhat amazed at the leverage the government. In some contracts, they actually approved who was on a project.

I believe that in this Major’s case, he burned that bridge, and now “miraculously” there is no other position for him with the contractor.

This doesn’t surprise me. Happens often in the DoD contracting world.
