It's obvious both sides are bullshitting. If te Pentagon just wanted more CS geeks and the Jasonites thought the Pentagon's nominees weren't good enough, Jason would have come up with some counterproposal naming some different CS geeks instead. Maybe it would have gone back and forth but the two sides wouldn't have walked away from each other so easily. There is clearly behind the scenes crap going on.
