Who Protects the Internet?

strikeleader writes "TechCrunch has an article from an interview with General Kevin Chilton, US STRATCOM commander and the head of all military cyber warfare. Who protects us? 'Basically no one.

I think you meant "mammaries." But, mammaries are indeed becoming increasingly important to our modern military. That's progress.
