I think GW said it best, Bring it on! They hope to penetrate the Intel hub of the US Army? Maybe it is best said by Forrest Gump.

Why not? Military Intelligence is another contradiction in terms. I've had interactions with intel weenies from the battalion (S-2) level to the Corps level (G-2). They sit in the TOC at every level with steaming hot mugs of coffee in their hands while they huddle down near the pot belly stove. I've seen it, while I'm huddled down with my boys outside in the freezing rain, waiting for an OP ORDER while we work on tuning up the Warning Order. Infantry chews tobacco, intel weenies smoke pipes. In the field. Know what the unofficial nickname for that hellhole they call a headquarters in Arizona? FORT WEGOTCHA! They say that if you crack and go awol there, they don't even start a search for a week 'cause they can still see you in the desert. I thought that the NTC was desolate until I found about the Intel School. I'm not too worried about a terror attack on site. They've got professionals in charge of security. However, a cyber attack may well paralyze the whole freakin' post.
