If the problem is similar to the UKs (or is it vice versa?) then the military have purchased the design rights of their aircraft thus taking the responsibility away from the OEM (in the main). So, if inclined to do so, the military can approve themselves to drill a hole in the windscreen and blu-tack a pistol onto it.
In most cases "The Military" are decidedly in charge of the maintenance they feel the need to do and of the maintenance standards they're willing to accept too.
IMHO they also deeply encourage (and then often turn a blind eye to) the variety of cultures they need in particular places.
You reap that which you sow.
