Reports are emerging that the United States Air Force has designated the computer networking equipment that separates its internal network from the rest of the internet a weapons system (archived). While various propaganda outlets parrot the Air Force's public relations friendly justification of the move as a merely a means to extract greater funding from legislators, this move to begin openly classifying mundane networking equipment as a form of weapons system is in concordance with United States President Hussein Bahamas' intensification of the war on computing.
If this USAF network equipment is a "weapon" then the Great Firewall of China is a hydrogen bomb times a million. But I guess this metaphor only further supports the theory that nukes are useless in praxis.
