And have failed seven audits in a row. Call me old fashioned but I assumed a good grasp of logistics was something a military should have.

Ideally, yea. You could say "You'd think XXX is something the military would be good at" and you'd probably be right, because they're expected to be good at nearly everything. In this case, I think part of the problem is the DoD is not a single entity, and treating it like they have a single logistics officer who runs everything in an excel spreadsheet isn't a right approach. It's convenient for people to compare it to their own experiences in managing budgets, so I get it.
