I'm a total noob to programming but there were some things that I thought were odd.. Correct me if they're no big deal.
"<meta property="article:publisher" content="https://www.facebook.com/WhiteHouse/" />" Why is facebook even remotely associated with the white house page?? I thought that was a government run website.
Then there's strange comments like this in the code "real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signups-->"
And why are there two DOD pages?
https://dod.defense.gov/ < old
https://www.defense.gov/ < redesign
Is this normal?
Maybe someone who's better at this stuff can find more meaning in the comments on these pages.
I'm not fully up on website security, but it does strike me as odd that the dod site has 2048 bit encryption while the www site has 256 bit encryption. I mean, 256 is standard so why have standard level on a supposed government site- especially one that was hacked (Solarwinds) just a few months ago?
Secondly, Q says that spelling matters and symbolism will be there downfall. Perhaps I'm reading too much into this but the www site doesn't say "Department of Defense" and does not bear the official DoD symbol but rather says "Dept of Defense" and has a pentagon icon.
