Notions of war games at military academies like West Point traditionally evoke images of guns and battle formations, but many cadets now study hacking techniques, to better defend military networks.

Interesting. as the world has seen in Estonia 2007 and Georgia 2008. Russia is well versed in the art of cyberwarfare.

yeah well they may wreak havoc in the USA private industry but when they can hack say....the west point network they will be news but until then there just a bunch of russian "brainiacs" who can hack home networks and maybe small buisnesses

The point of teaching it at West Point isn't to have us be the best hackers the world has ever seen but give us the knowledge to combat them. But, there are idiots like you who insist that West Point is only full of morons and gangstas, because of course, America ONLY has those. Get out of your small world you little prick and figure out that no one cares if you're the best if your only point in life is to piss off everyone else. Our country has lots of flaws, so do lots of other countries

Hah, if you knew anything about real hacking, you'd realize that the most skilled hackers are in small groups, and the only instance where they would work for a gov't is if they were caught.

I'd love to watch Russian hackers, by far the best in the world to wreak havoc upon the USA, just to show idiots like you that West Point "hackers" don't know shit compared to the best.

I'll keep my spot at West Point... you can have your seat in front of the computer trolling on videos, you asshole

west point is a joke compared to whom? Who r u to say that west point full of "noobs"? Ur probably too stupid to know how hard it is to get accepted into west point military academy. U have to be top of your class and extremely active in sports. West Point cadets are very smart & physically strong. Once the cadets graduate, they will be 2nd lieutenants of the US Army. By that time, wut would u have accomplished? Be4 you call them "noobs", u should look into ur life and see wut u accomplished.
