The military is focusing a great amount of attention on the need for cyber security, and appropriately so; but where is the focus when it comes to the need for defense of one's self. We're hearing more and more of the threats aimed at unprotected military members nationally and internationally; these threats aren't solely through cyber means. Infact some are even aimed at protected public servants, i.e. police officers and security agents. We need to add to the means by which we defend our troops in the CONUS.

The right answer is both. You cant have Social/Cyber without some elements of Physical.

This is not a one or the other proposition --- in today's world, the two are inter-connected.

Hence the irony of why we focus a great majority of attention toward cyber security and limited attention, if any, toward stateside threats and personal security that continues to surface against unarmed military members in CONUS. Intel reports show that possible threats to military members is an issue, as attacks have been committed in Canada and Europe by the same force (ISIL) that threatens us. Cyber security is 100% necessary, as social means are used to recruit enemy sympathizers; enemy sympathizers who unfortunately are American citizens at times. If there is no preference, then we should start talking seriously about arming qualified military members in the CONUS too. (I've noticed the need to adjust the discussion topic.)
