As a member of a US military "organization", that term "weaponized icmp", etc, 
is bullshit speak to try to gin up tax dollars to support "info warfare"

potential terrorist if you want to fund your latest pet project.

Total crap.  "Weaponized" icmp my ass.  And I'm a Comm troop too.

Freedom is not the Judeo-Christian divinity's gift to anybody. Freedom and 
democracy have their origins with the Greeks and the Romans, who had a bunch 
of gods whose idea of family does not comport with George Bush's.
