This seems terribly overblown. Do people forget the fact that Darpa finances things like the Darpa Challenge every year? And lets not forget that the Internet itself was once simply ARPANET. Also that really cool internet challenge where groups had to find 10 red balloons at geographically diverse locations.

It seems like dumb fearmongering to think that an organization that has made bets like that is simply trying to get kids to mass produce weapons or something.
