They wanted to save costs, but cheap was expensive.

If a for profit firm does something illogical the answer for why is always that it pleased shareholders.

Outsourcing your Defense Department to a foreign country is a choice. Not a smart choice, but a choice nonetheless.

What Microsoft did was absolutely inexcusable.
But, really, not just for this alone.
As for the DoD enlisting Microsoft, given the latter’s decades-spanning horrible reputation, I don’t know what to say.

It will just get Chinese engineers H1-B visas and bring them to America instead. Problem solved.

Great. Next can we stop using Microsoft for defense department computer systems?
