You might watch his technical assessment of threats. There was enough there I paused for a few moments, even if he is mostly selling books and trying to keep a commission seat. I tend to agree there isn't an excuse not to harden some of our infrastructure against this type of attack.

I agree that hardening infrastructure against attacks (not just EMPs) is important. But that is only one of two requests made in the article. The other one is about shooting down a satellite owned & operated by another nation, an unprecedented request that - if executed - could be seen as an act of war. (Imagine if NK destroys a US satellite...)

  Their satellite would be taken out first when any shooting starts. I don't think the Pentagon would wait.

    Yes, I can see that happening. But the article does not state the precondition of war to shoot down the satellite - it asks to do it now, possibly starting the war.
