Hasn't the NSA already done this? We see the product of it in SELinux.
No. SELinux is not a distribution, not even internally at the NSA. Nor is it a complete security solution. The NSA describes SELinux as a good start.
That said, this isn't the first time that a DOD branch has invested heavily in Linux. Recall that the Air Force built a 1700-node Linux supercomputer a few years back using PlayStation 3 units[1].
Ultimately, it depends on what Patuxent NAS needs. My suspicion is that some Brass fears (rightly so) their drone fleet falling prey to something like Stuxnet or Flame.
