Although you did not ask me, I think it could be because, absent the Internet, the good guys have VERY secure comms (and comm monitoring - the best in the world in fact), but the bad guys still rely upon email, the web, cell phones, burner phones.
That could be shut down while offensive ops are underway (likely localized) for two reasons: maximize surprise, and also for force protection. That's my guess.
While it would annoy/inconvenience, and frighten us, it would help us win more quickly & decisively.
As Q says repeatedly..."plan"...
Thanks Gulf War One for your service and the well reasoned response.
I have not executed my entire plan yet, I think I better get on with it. :-0
We will all lose our organizational capabilities. In the meantime, The REAL power (military) will still have comms.
Ya think that may be the thinking? After all, we are already ready and "woke" to a large degree and can act independently to a certain extent. Much more so than the idiots leftoids, I would think. As I recall....
They are stupid.
Knocking out the cell towers would cripple command and control in urban riot scenarios. No flash mobs if nobody’s allowed to text.
