Ask the Air Force Cyber Command General About War in Cyberspace
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.
What are some of the differences between this and other parts of the military, in terms of application requirements, benefits, pay, etc?
Demented But Determined.
How did that get modded as a troll?
His job, as is the job of many military officials, is to look at EVERYTHING in the world as a potential weapon, to be used by or against "us". I am wondering how he carries on, after all these years, looking at things like the internet, which is inherently nonviolent, as a place for warfare.
Please try thinking beyond your screen when you mod.
I like to place meaningful quotes in my sig, so people will know that I know what meaningful quotes are.
