Just had it pointed out to me "luser" was just internet slang, and not really an insult. Sorry I got a little defensive after that.  

For me, "national security" is anything a nation needs to prosper and survive, including national medical care, education, ensuring a healthy job market and that there's infrastructure for everyone to get food, water, information, and from place to place. A lot of my emphasis is on the intelligence aspects of national security, because I started off and got hooked on the subject while reading military history and ex-spook/spy memoirs. I'm fascinated by the economic side of things and think it's under represented, and we need more/better education (at least in the U.S.) that's gauged to a realistic job market and caters to the individual's actual capabilities. I generally don't talk about that part because I only understand it in the broadest terms, and the best I can do is try to listen to the experts in that field and people who are smarter than me. And then there's separating policy from politics...

I hope that helps clarify some. Sorry again for assuming that your question was insincere/attacking.
