"Recruiting for the Cyber Wars"

"The U.S. Military is looking for a few good geeks". (Business Week)  As technology advances, hackers are becoming more resilient and experienced in attacking any website.  In order to protect against those hackers, government agencies need to prepare themselves by recruiting and training skillful individuals.  It is widely known that the Pentagon is digitally attacked about 3 million times a day.  (Business Week)  To prevent devastating attacks, the military is beginning to expand its cyber security division and making it a primary mission.  

I believe the U.S. Military needs to be prepared for all scenarios when it involves hacking and other forms of digital attacks or espionage.  In my opinion, the future of war will not involve physical contact but a battle of the country which has the best hackers.  As an example, China's military holds contents to see who the best hackers are and offers prizes to those individuals.  (Business Week)  They are completely aware that digital warfare is the new horizon in war.
