And someone should further alert him that they do not "own" these addresses.
MIT is probably using less of their /8 than MOD is, and as far as I know, MIT has neither commando forces nor nuclear weapons.
You might want to pick, so to speak, your battles more carefully.
more over, who cares? a /8 is less than 2 months rundown globally... and, once upon a time I constructed on this list a usecase for apple's /8 ... it's really not THAT hard to use a /8, it's well within the capabilities of a gov't to do so... especially given they PROBABLY have: o unclassified networks o secret networks o top secret networks o other networks
I'm sure there's plenty of ways they could use the space in question.
