#2This will not turn out how Musk, Trump, Republicans and conservatives think it will.
Remember the "Canadian Pharmacy" spamming 2000-2010? Right after the Soviet Union collapsed and all their spies and hackers were out on the street, with no prospects of a good job.

I would think anyone employed at nsa would be able to get private cybersecurity jobs, no?

I'm sure NSO Group would love that sort of talent.

Not if there's no federal or insurance company mandate.
Also, you're assuming that there's a market for rootkits/implants, and "tailored access operations", rather than incident responders and checklist reviewers, which is what the giant bulk of corporate cyber security involves.

#7After the Vietnam war, in the 1970s, there was a big RIF (reduction in force) at places like the NSA.
These agencies have not had a reduction since then and are oversized and wrongly sized.

Marshal created the "plucking commission" and got rid of a lot of dead wood. This put the US in a much better position to fight a war.

The US is in no position to fight a war, regardless of supposed "dead wood". This is just a purge and further attempt to weaken the state intelligence apparatus.
