The US military really needs a major upgrade in terms of its THINKING about internet security.<p>I've spoken to the military trained "cyber warriors" at conferences and it was unsettling. They simply had a worse grasp than some pre-college kids I've met who dabble in security between high school classes.<p>There's a lot of veneer there and not a whole lot of substance. It is like they're trained to be the world's best script kiddies (e.g. they run provided tools in a given order and expect a predetermined result, they don't REALLY grasp the underlying concepts at a low level).<p>Now I will say the NSA has some really sharp cookies, and I'm sure some other DoD departments do too. But the people at the top seem to think "cyber" war can be mapped to normal war, and train accordingly. That's a fool's errand.<p>Hopefully they get it together, but in terms of DoD's own internal politics it seems like a long road with the computer illiterate grey hairs at the top.
