Better question is this. After you do consulting for the dod, do you have a greater appreciation for real issues vs first world problems. If the answer is no, then you never really got it.

PWC is right. My DoD consulting directly provided a capability that saved lives and probably still is (I'm out of that world now). It took me a long time to be ok with regular business and the outcomes it provides. I would say it even took soul searching. All of this said, dod is very big and covers many areas so it's possible to have good or bad engagements
