Re: Pentagon puts hold on USAF cyber effort
said by DownTheShore  :So typical. All branches of the military vying for their slice of the pie and credit, instead of each doing what they do best, and letting one branch concentrate on cyberspace and letting it be the best it can be in that area.  Unfortunately, the more things change the more they stay the same. Counterproductive inter-service rivalries are well documented throughout the history of the U.S armed forces as well as within the armed forces of numerous other nations. I'm not talking about the standard stuff wherein troops from different branches sound off to each other in a derogatory manner, either. Such behavior in the enlisted ranks is a put-on almost always without exception because the jaw-jacking and running of sewers is done with genuine fondness. Anyone who has ever worn the uniform knows this is true.
However, get the ranking staff brass from each branch together in a command room and watch the sparks fly. I'm told it is truly a sight to behold.

Seems to be the "American Way"... and it's not just inter-service rivalry. Just as often, it's intra-service rivalry. Ask anyone intimately familiar just what really killed the USAF SR-71 program... twice! And it was supposed to be a "national asset".
