What's going to happen, when the Limits of so-called "Electronic Warfare" get a little Wider?
What IF the "Cyberspace Control" Involved the Removal of all Anti-Goverment Blogs, Sites and the Arrest of those Members (just like it happened in France?)

It is a what if, but I really think Souljah nailed it there. If they are waging war and fighting 'enemies' in cyberspace, to me this insinuates attacking their servers, websites, sytems etc. Now in a world where "You are either with us, or against us" this could very well mean your own blog.
While these conversations, many of them informal, didn't touch on "even one-third of its classified capabilities," according to one pilot, they included the ability to hunt down and destroy cruise missiles well behind enemy lines, the introduction of a new missile that allows the head-on attack and destruction of stealthy enemy missiles, a tailless bomber derivative design, a planned electronic attack capability so powerful that it actually damages enemy electronics, and modifications that would allow the aircraft's electronic package to invade enemy computer networks.
...
An associated capability is airborne computer network attack that, under project Suter, currently resides with the EC-130 Compass Call. However, the aircraft is large, slow and can't penetrate defended airspace. Futurists say a further modified F/A-22 will be able to operate over key targets and carry out computer attack or surveillance with much less power. "If you're 5 mi. from the threat, you don't need the power of Compass Call" to penetrate an enemy computer network, says one official.
The space bit concerns me a little also.. is this the start of a progression from NASA's peacefull exploration of space to a more militaristic-style approach?
While the Air Force has had for a long time now Sattelite's and craft capable of reaching very high altitude (LEA and possibly higher) I seriously wonder how big a role NASA will play in Space in 20 or 30 years..

how do you define space, land, air or sea? its the military, its their job to fight anywhere needed, and to be ready to fight.

Yes but, isn't the Airforce supposed to use Aircraft in their "Fight"?
Cyberspace can have very BROAD Definition, and when you are saying that the next battle will be conducting in Cyberspace, you have to define that "Space" - because Cyberspace is not just "Evil Chinese Hackers" yaknow.

Please, I beg you … stop with this nonsense. Why don’t you go fight REAL problems with our government? Write your congressman about the Patriot Act or something.

Fighting in cyberspace is a very natural progression for the USAF.
Electronic warfare has been an important aspect of air warfare
since WWII and the advent of radar.

now - the internet and this chat site. If the world were devoid
of America and it's defences .. you'd be either dead or enslaved
by the communists or the radical islamics. You are free .. and
yet so ungrateful.

Don't you understand that the internet you and I use is NOT their primary concern? They are concerned with enemy military assets networking and secure data links - not blog sites and message boards.
That is completely unsubstantiated GARBAGE Souljah. The US has controled the internet SINCE IT WAS INVENTED! If we wanted to censor it we would have...
Kind of like the Chinese ACTUALLY DO!
