Does the U.S. Need an Independent Cyber Force?
Listen to this episode commercial free at https://angryplanetpod.com
If the internet is a battlefield, does that mean the United States needs a new military force to dominate it?
On this episode of Angry Planet, retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Edward Charles Cardon and former House Armed Services Committee Democratic staffer Joshua Stiefel make the case for spinning off the Cyber Force into an independent branch. Both are part of a new commission at the Center for Strategic and International Studies — partnered with Jason’s new bosses at Foundation for Defense of Democracies — with the goal of preparing for a new branch that both feel is inevitable.
It’s a wild and wandering conversation that touches on Neuromancer, AI, and fighting a cyber war against the Islamic State.
