That more has to do with the decision-making and force direction functions. Once the decision is made, there’s time.

It’s pretty much all over for us at that point anyway.

I get it. Just concerned that we may get hit before we have time to send the retaliation because of latency. The last thing we can be proud of as a nation is being last because of floppy disks. Some of us might live to be embarrassed by this fact from now on.

“China pushed the button with a 64 gig thumbdrive, and the US had stuck floppy disks so they are done”.

Since we are in an “arms race” this would be nothing to be proud of at all. May as well stop this insanity if we are that far behind. I know we are not, but the perception is still there with this.
