I seriously doubt the veracity of the assertion.

I don't at all. Ever tried using Navy/Marine Corps Internet (NMCI)? It's like taking a time machine back to 1995.

People would be shocked at how outdated and poorly functioning information technology systems are in today's U.S. military.

I wouldn’t be surprised. I’ve worked on one government contract, and left the company soon after. Also know people who know people. Not enough hardware, ancient systems, about OS/2 level operating systems. Paid military enlistee salaries unless have college degree, then may qualify for junior officer salary. Other things best left unsaid.
Typical military hurry up and wait, in a situation where we need to hurry up and hurry up faster.
Plus civilian complete lack of knowledge of the unique issues involved in preparation for military threats to IT hardware, software, communications, etc. Plus fifth column in military or contracted to military.
Civilian software written with holes big enough to lose a war through. Routers. It isn’t that hard to configure one, if it’s engineered properly. 30.
