I think you're misunderstanding. The USAF CIO is making no political statement, they're only trying to use their fairly large budget to coerce MS. This often backfires on them, because while they *do* have a large budget, it's not so large as to wield irrestible economic force. If they ask for too much (and they do that more than once a year, usually) then they just get ignored, except in the press.
