I really believe that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf big tech is going to turn their backs on the Department of Defense, this country\u2019s in trouble. That just can\u2019t happen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His comments seemed to throw shade at competitor Google, the tech giant who last year pulled out of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/opinion\/2018\/06\/06\/no-surprise-google-bids-maven-farewell\/\" target=_blank>Pentagon agreement<\/a> due to internal pressure from a group of employees. Some in the defense world have criticized Google leadership for not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2018\/07\/13\/why-wasnt-the-pentagons-tech-guru-surprised-by-google-maven-pushback\/\" target=_blank>standing up<\/a> to the relatively small but vocal group, a stance Bezos aligned himself with while not naming his competitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is the job of the senior leadership team to say \u2018no,\u2019 \u201d Bezos said. \u201cSo it\u2019s on the senior leadership team to say: \u2018I understand these are emotional issues, that\u2019s OK. We don\u2019t have to agree on everything. But this is how we are going to do it. We are going to support the Department of Defense. This country is important.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bezos did not touch on the question of the Pentagon\u2019s JEDI cloud computing contract, which his company has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/it-networks\/cloud\/2019\/11\/25\/here-are-the-trump-statements-amazon-cites-in-its-jedi-protest\/\" target=_blank>decided to protest<\/a> after DoD officials selected Microsoft as the winner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIf big tech is going to turn their backs on the Department of Defense, this country\u2019s in trouble.
