Well, I don't like the army thing much myself. But, government does like a "war" on this, that and everything. Perhaps its language government might understand, hell, may even respect.
Maybe too, its sort of beefs up the geeks. I get the impression that the government / corporate cartel treat tech folk like harmless meek geeks. Perhaps language like this helps change that image a bit?
That aside, what a brilliantly put article. It sums up in words what so many feel but cant fully articulate.
I see what you're saying. I remember the different treatment by the police between people protesting/marching in Washington. One was peaceful and non-violent (Occupy), the other peaceful and 'don't-tred-on-me' (Teaparty). Hackers build this world and they can fight back as well and they know it.
