Re:CyberCommand Location (Score 1)

How about putting Cyber Command someplace where there is already a large wired infrastructure, and someplace where talented network engineers would want to live? NEITHER one of those locations is good. If I were a top flight network engineer or analyst, what would I do if I had a choice? Live in The Bay Area of California, Seattle, or go to Offutt...or even worse, freaking Barksdale; both of those places are close to the edge of civilization. There are some redeeming qualities about both places, but none outweigh the fact both are undesirable locations for anyone with a choice. One's a frozen wasteland and the other's America's sweltering armpit. Still, it's a pretty safe bet AF Cyber Command is going to be put at Barksdale. The provisional command is already there, and most of the people who would have something to do with the decision already live there. Places like Shreveport and Omaha need government pork to survive, and the Louisiana congressional delegation is expert at bringing home pork.
