Ask the Air Force Cyber Command General About War in Cyberspace

Posted by Roblimo on from the play-the-ultimate-MMORPG dept.

We ran an article about the new Air Force Cyber Command and its recruiting efforts on February 13, 2008. Now Major General William Lord, who is in charge of this effort, has agreed to answer Slashdot users' questions. If you're thinking about joining up -- or just curious -- this is a golden opportunity to learn how our military is changing its command structure and recruiting efforts to deal with "cyberspace as a warfighting domain." Usual Slashdot interview rules apply.

    Why would you want to militarise the internet? Nothing better do? Isn't this sort of thing best left to Intelligence Agencies like the CIA and NSA who have a long-standing mandate on managing and analysing ICT data? Why do you feel the need to militarise data? Isn't this just another aspect of the Bush Administration's misguided militarisation of civilian functions?
