I wish USDS would do this as well; I feel like they'd attract a lot more talent. Although perhaps they want to attract exactly the kind of talent who would take a big pay cut out of a sense of service/duty.

For myself, while I recognize that military is a necessary evil in the world we live in, and I have a ton of respect for the people who put themselves in harm's way, working for an org with a .mil address would be against my values. I'm so torn, though, since (e.g.) the Internet itself came out of the DoD. It's a hard pill to swallow for me sometimes that a lot of essential civilian tech was originally developed by or for the military.
