| Pentagon To Triple Cyber Staff To Thwart Attacks |
| 2014-03-29 |
| [Ynet] Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says the Pentagon plans to more than triple its cybersecurity staff in the next few years to defend against computer-based attacks. Hagel's comments Friday at the National Security Agency headquarters in suburban Washington come as he prepares to visit China next week, where officials are likely to challenge him amid reports of aggressive US cyber spying. The Pentagon has been recruiting outside talent for cybersecurity jobs as well as encouraging people already in the military to train for them and will have some 1,800 professionals by year's end. |

| #4 Americans, Jews, need not apply (don't want to offend the above groups!). Indeed, Immediately after 9/11 Persian-American Jews and American Jews from the Arab world volunteered en masse to translate for the CiA, FBI, DoD and so forth. But the Muslim translators informed management that if the Jews came, they would not work. So that was that. |
