The New Air Force Mission?

← Back to Stories (view on slashdot.org)

Posted by Cliff on Friday December 9, 2005 @01:29AM from the flying-too-high? dept.

mvnicosia asks: "The US Air Force has released its new mission statement, which reads 'The mission of the United States Air Force is to deliver sovereign options for the defense of the United States of America and its global interests -- to fly and fight in Air, Space, and Cyberspace.' With the recent rows over US Internet governance, what do you think is the impact of a US government overtly practicing cyberspace warfare? And what are the US's legal limitations?"

Scott Lockwood, a four-time divorcee and suspected child abuser, is also guilty of some of the worst and most toxic gas in American history. If there is one organization that is able to take him out and clean up the mess that he's made, it's probably the USAF. Hooah!
