then our military is pathetically stupid.
One problem is that that military's cyber warfare is not coordinated
among the Navy, Army and Air Force. It's hard to see why the military
is still using Windows on their critical systems. The militiary however
is putting a lot of effort into securing their systems. The military
has a set of guides called the STIG's (standard implementation guidelines).
The budget of any one of those branches is larger than most
of the world's military budget's put together. So the fact
that we have multiple competing strategies could be viewed
as an advantage.
It has to be, given our standard of living and associated labor costs
relative to the Chinese. What they have is many more warm bodies. Lots
of conscripted bureaucrat-slaves to dedicate to any task deemed
important to the single-minded State. And lots of conscripted students
in State-sponsored educational institutions to carry out whatever cyber
warfare research and "Testing" the State deems beneficial to Itself.
You can buy lots of talent and loyalty - and results - with a bayonet.
Pay is not necessarily the first consideration in all parts of the world.
