I've always read that one as satire critique of the American DoD. It has Svejk and Catch 22 all over it.

But it is not. It's quite real! It makes a lot of sense... it's exactly the type of stuff that frustrates people [because it slows down the organization] but happens a lot [because it's not easily detectable/fireable].

I don't question the authenticity, just the intent of the author.
