I'm in no way trying to contradict your comment that $200k is a lot of money in the United States.

I'm arguing that if you're capable of performing cyberwarfare, $200k is a fairly low salary. The $122k median "cyber security professional" is including a lot of people with CCNAs who configure firewalls for a living.

Ok, so cyber warfare operators make a median of $144k per year. Higher, but $200k is still over one third above that.
