I think the military stands alone as a semi-competent federal entity, and I don't think anyone is thinking "let's have the military do it" when they're talking

I think the military stands alone as a semi-competent federal entity, and I don't think anyone is thinking "let's have the military do it" when they're talking about putting infrastructure under federal jurisdiction. Asking ACoE to manage our national infrastructure is like asking the VA to manage our country's healthcare. These things aren't well-aligned with the missions of these organizations.
