I was surprised to see Google getting down with Marine Corps intelligence

Given the recent blowup between the U.S. government and the Google/Microsoft complex over
transparency in intelligence matters, I was interested to see that Google now
sponsors two annual awards for Marine Corps intelligence specialists. Sgt.
Manuel Iles won "Language Professional of the Year," and Capt. Jesse Sloman won
an award for "Literary Excellence." What is Google doing for the Corps, I
wonder? I searched online for information about a contract but failed to find
anything illuminating.

I wonder if one day
Google or another such company will be the biggest U.S. military contractor.
After all, a century ago, no one had ever heard of Boeing, Lockheed, or General
Dynamics.
