Re: [ga] UPDATE DARPA wants military to replace TCP/IP with new "Military Network Protocol"

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

To tell the truth Joe I actually am pleased with this development.  I have two 
reasons:
 
DARPA is supposed to do goofy shit. That is why I pay them the big bucks. I 
want to see a real well documented model of segregation. Of course the concept 
will fail. I want concrete evidence of why. I want the big boys spending 
billions on a theory that has help make ICANN worthless. But I also think that 
in this routine they will show us ways that gtlds outside ICANN will simply 
have no problem interfacing and discoursing with ICANN protected and promoted 
models. Then it will show the world it is political and not practical.
 
I think this models failure will help to bring out what many of us social 
scientists have be saying all along.  The more we segregate military personel 
from the real world the more we have a disconnect between the violence of war 
and human social reality. If they are not fully integrated at the most root 
level then they begin to operate on a second plain tier that allows for sefl 
justification and atrocity. We know commanders and chiefs are not amoung us and 
so can think on different levels of social conscience, but seperating further 
the foot soldier from mom and dad and neighbor and friend will result in 
diminished social norming by military.

Yes that's an excellent comment that puts it all into perceptive. Basically 
"security through obscurity". While I support and understand security through 
obscurity it won't work here. MNP does not fix the problem - it only creates a 
new untested protocol for hackers to hack. It's more of an incentive to hack.
