Well apparently our super efficient, secret Defense Department has leased time on a Chinese Sat to cover communications in Africa with troops. Are we that broke that we have to rent satellite time from hostile countries. Are we that stupid to use it for communications?

BTW, we are probably “paying” them to steal our communications. The one year contract will cost $10 Million US Taxpayer Dollars.

Oh, don’t worry, DOD has said ti has taken extra steps to “secure” communications over the satellite. I hope it is better than the total failure it exhibited in the Afghanistan fiasco when they didn’t include encryption for our Drones there, and the enemy monitored the video in real time using $26 software from the Internet. Reason? There wasn’t enough money at time of drone deployment to cover encryption, Whoops.
