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.

    And is there the possibility of working from home covertly? I would be interested in helping out with our nation's cyberwar defense efforts.
