As the U.S. military prepares to fight the wars of the future, many of the most effective warriors will very likely be keyboard warriors, far behind the lines of combat. According to Lt. Gen.

King: What do you mean by “You don’t have a kingdom?”
Geez. I guess they’d better bring in a bunch of H1B parasites to make big money, maintain dual citizenship, vote for leftist Democrats, and plan on moving back to their home countries when the economy here finally flatlines.
You know, because they can’t possibly find a handful of Americans out of 300,000,000 capable of this type of work.

What person in their right mind would take orders from Obama?
Don’t you dare try to shoot me or I’ll come to your house and ‘redecorate’”.

Trump will make America great again. He will get rid of all of those illegal alien nerds and replace them with hard working, red blooded American nerds. Then America will be great again.
Sorry, but this will be more than a handful, more like tens of thousands or even far more highly skilled IT security workers.
I've been working in IT for 30 years, and I'm now looking at moving into security.
Even to most IT workers, "security" is a nebulous, broad term. But from my investigation so far, there are a great many branches, and it's doubtful that anyone could become a really effective "jack of all trades." Most organized security systems are accomplished by teams, and the people who make up those teams are not just people you'll find out on the streets. Just like some people have to have a certain way of thinking to be successful at a certain type of job, so do really good IT workers, and an even smaller subset of them are really the sort of person who would excel at security.
Sure, it's possible to put together teams of people who aren't security masterminds, as long as their leaders are. But cyber-attacks are much like terrorists, in that they only need to succeed once, while the defenders have to stop every attack.
