A friend sent this to me:

You should watch it and pay very specific attention to the information he provides about the US Military. I would personally find that greatly amusing if it turned out to be true.

Wow, about to go look up to verify that military thing LOL.  Wouldn't surprise me too much as the Chinese constantly hack our Pentagon.  :(
EDIT: Found it!

A small excerpt for your reading pleasure...

Quote
Via: Wall Street Journal:

Militants in Iraq have used $26 off-the-shelf software to intercept live video feeds from U.S. Predator drones, potentially providing them with information they need to evade or monitor U.S. military operations.

Senior defense and intelligence officials said Iranian-backed insurgents intercepted the video feeds by taking advantage of an unprotected communications link in some of the remotely flown planes’ systems. Shiite fighters in Iraq used software programs such as SkyGrabber — available for as little as $25.95 on the Internet — to regularly capture drone video feeds, according to a person familiar with reports on the matter.

U.S. officials say there is no evidence that militants were able to take control of the drones or otherwise interfere with their flights. Still, the intercepts could give America’s enemies battlefield advantages by removing the element of surprise from certain missions and making it easier for insurgents to determine which roads and buildings are under U.S. surveillance.

One word...  FAIL!

the funniest thing about this though is that they apparently new about this since the 1990's but didn't think they were clever enough to work out how to access it. which no offence meant to the american army but that seems to be how they view all there enemies they think there enemies are dumb-asses and that they are Einstein's which isn't always true

i am not responsible for what i do or my advice

yup also the american defence people seem to thing the biggest gun or toy will win and skimp (compared to some other countrys) on the training a bit. if you were to combine the two then that would be amazing having unparalleled training in all areas as well as the most technologically advanced weaponry that would be a force to be reckoned with.

getting larger numbers of more intelligent individuals to sign up and then actually putting them in advanced tech positions would be a good idea also...
