I have a hard time believing the U.S. "cyberwarriors" were ever truly interested in defense. It seemed as though the U.S. government was interested in weakening encryption standards and encouraging backdoors that spies, law enforcement, and criminals could all exploit. edit: didn't the NSA intentionally withheld zerodays to exploit them itself, putting everyone at risk?
