Civilian infrastructure --- This is an interesting observation, and I agreement that it depends both on the definition of critical infrastructure and of national security itself, and what it comprises. However, I also wonder if this distinction is because the infrastructure mentioned here is typically civilian infrastructure, which is usually protected or considered off-limits even during war whereas infrastructure related to national security, like intelligence agencies or armed forces are considered fair game.
