My question then would be, what do you suppose they use?  Since at some point
somewhere, you are more than likely going to end up on a commercial internet
backbone.  So regardless of what government specific app you use.  The data is
being routed through public IP space.   Not like the old days where you had
dedicated copper circuits.

That more and more government applications services are leaving ON PREM space
and going into the cloud.
