Is DoD worried about Boeings military contracts due to civilian issues


The civilian side of Boeing has been going through a long set of serious to catastrophic quality / maintenance / design issues for at least the last 3 years.

Unfortunately, it appears that there is still more to come.

Should / is the DoD concerned about the military side of Boeing also experiencing serious quality / maintenance / design?

I have not read about any Boeing military aircraft problems but I might well have missed it.

As far as I understand it, a lot of the military aircrafts are versions / adaptations / variants of civilian aircrafts and they might have started life in the same manufacturing process as the regular civilian models?

There is this ongoing disaster

which you don't hear as much carping as you could because the USMC seems less inclined to complain when it gets ripped off by contractors as other military branches.
