Believe me, if Blacknet ever becomes a reality, there will be military secrets for sale.
little guys in uniform? mr may - i serve in the US Navy so you don't
The little guys corruption isn't a secret. I was there, and I know. Little People have Little Minds, and the scope of their corruption is mostly minor and annoying.
military does for the US is a good thing. i skipped collage (don't ask why) after graduating early from HS to enlist in the navy.
