The NSA, the NRO, and the NGA are DoD agencies. The DNI -despite the title- has next-to-nothing to do with running those agencies.

To analogize: The US Army answers to the DoD. The DoD answers to the POTUS. This the Army and the DoD are military organizations, despite this fact.

Yeah, I understand that. I only included the DNI because he did.

No. You included the DNI-is-part-of-DHS factoid because you thought that it bolstered your claim that "The NSA is not a military organization.". [0] You were wrong. :)
