You say some interesting things.
Lot of fiber optic plumbed long ago for the minuteman missile systems, as well as for DoD SIPRNET.
There are also a lot of construction jobs out there for laying fiber and other utility lines which just… Seem to be done for the sake of having someone dig a hole. Goog was investing in that pretty hardcore some time ago.
Exactly.
There are times to fight, there are times to sow/grow/build, and times to reap/harvest/remove.
I forget who it was … But there was a general who held that war was simply a continuation of diplomacy. Diplomacy, itself, was never completely absent the promise of war, and war was never completely absent the notion of treatise, discussion, or what we usually call "diplomacy." The pens and talks do not stop just because the bullets are flying. The bullets are flying to drive home the resolve of the pen, and the pen willing to stay the use of force.
I'm beating the point into the ground, but I over-engineer everything, even my statements.
