What do we name the new branch of the military?

Asked by filmfann (52219points) July 15th, 2011

News item: The Pentagon has recognized cyberspace as a new domain for warfare — just like land, sea, space and air.

Okay, we have soldiers on land, sailors on the sea… What do we name those who serve the military in Cyberspace? Geek Squad? Nerd Herd? Hells Hackers? What is the new branch called? What kind of advertising would we expect for this new Hard Driving force? What kind of cadences would we expect in their “Re-boot Camp”?

@FutureMemory :: Waste Of Money. I feel that pretty much anything the DOD touches turns into a shithole of wasted money. Military industrial complex indeed.
