The Code War Arms Race
pacopico writes "A story in Bloomberg Businessweek gives the first in-depth look at a wave of new start-ups selling cyber weaponry. The story describes this as the evolution of the defense industry in response to a wave of brazen attacks against Google, the Pentagon, the IMF and thousands of companies. It's pretty scary stuff, especially considering that these new weapons are not regulated at all."
Really? Good god, slashdot.
Your cyber disgust has been cyber recorded for further cyber review.
Find me a US general with just one of those traits.
Arnold (before he turned traitor at the behest of his Tory girlfriend)
Lee (before he fought for the Confederates - see also the Mexican-American War)
Sherman
Grant
Roosevelt (Theodore, not Franklin)
Pershing
Patton
Bradley
Eisenhower
MacArthur
Long story short, well... your point doesn't stand.
Quo usque tandem abutere, Nimbus, patientia nostra?
The general may or may not be capable of thinking outside the box - but I guarantee that he has troops who are capable. I was Navy, rather than Army. We spent a lot of time thinking, inside, outside, under and over the box. Of six commanding officers, one was a VERY imaginative person, two more were only slightly less imaginative, and the others were more or less average in that respect. Box thinkers, but capable of following a train of thought that left the boxy station.
Clue - military people are like civilians, in that everyone is an individual. You can't summarize how military people think - especially if you're not even a military person.
