Having met Adm. Inman a few years back here in Austin, I can tell you he's about as much a SALES GUY (in however you choose to frame that) as you are an IT guru. And that's not an attack. It's just the way he operates.
But... that's JUST FINE... in my books. He's got NSA and military credentials. He's got contacts. He's got credibility in some key communities. He's got TECHNICAL know-how.
It is beyond obvious that he is being brought in for some SPECIFIC engagements... and opportunities. And Wave was wise to bring in someone who is NSA-friendly.
