Re: I think it would be rather splendid

That's not how this goes down.

1) If the US military is a heavy user of Signal, then the NSA has signed off on it.

2) No way in ******* **** that the NSA approves such without source code, fully analyzed.

3) Almost as unlikely that they would be using Signal's servers, if for no other reason than that they are not hardened against physical attacks by hostile actors.

4) Which means that they are using military servers. If Signal pulls out of the US, this has 0 effect on this application.

5) It's not legal for my to own a B83--does not mean that the military does not have them.
