Turkish Hackers Penetrate Army Servers

According to ZDNet's U.S. Army servers breached by Turkish hackers and InformationWeek's Anti-U.S. Hackers Infiltrate Army Servers Turkish hackers penetrated US Army servers in January of this year and September 2007. The same group also hacked a site maintained by Internet Security experts Kaspersky Lab.

I understand how NASA can get hacked, though I don't know why the government puts up with it. However when it comes to the US Army everything should be locked down tight. These sources indicate that the hack was carried out through an SQL Injection attack exploiting a vulnerability in Microsoft's SQL Server. Why would anyone use a Windows Server on purpose?

Rant, rant, yes I rant and I should not. I just guess I sort of expect that the US Army (and other government agencies) shouldn't be getting hacked - even every 2 years.
