- ThinkBeat 6y agoAs another replier mentioned, the US has that and has had that in DOD as well and have had it for longer. However, NSA, has been around a long time. Dont forget about them. If by "applying digital force", do you mean attacking other countries? If so, does the same apply when the US destroys computer systems in other countries? If your country is attacked by the US what force are they reasonably allowed to use as a counter attack? You ruin one or more nuclear weapons facilities; they get to destroy a few nuclear installations of several types in the US? The US is not sitting around being the innocent victim. The US is engaged in offensive attacks on regular basis. (At the same time the US is engaged in massive real world war as well. Unike most of its counterparts. Oh "military conflicts" not war. Unless you are the country at the receiving end of "military conflict" in which case you will have to spend a lot of time trying to figure out why it is not war.
