Comment on How The FCC Plans To Destroy GPS – A Simple Explanation

Doesn't the military still rely heavily on GPS? I have a hard time believing they'd tolerate any kind of interference with such a crucial system.

Yes - without it's operation many senior members of staff would be forced to learn map reading to find their way around Washington (or at least their drivers would)

I believe M-code also operates on 1227.6 (L2). According to wikipedia, they do still use 1575.42 (L1).
