Default Internet Security

I just discovered something.

Code:
Thu Nov 11 23:02:47| IN: DoD Network Information Center,hits: 825514,SRC: 14.202.32.159
I have close to 1.2GB of IPTables logs with this about every 8 lines on various ports, with various intended destinations. As far as I can tell, this has been going on for a few months. First, I would get packets from MediaDefender. Now it's the Department of Defense?!? Surely my Star Trek collection isn't worth that much.

As far as I can tell from my logs, I've been port scanned, DNS spoofed, rerouted across the country and back, and all of these attacks unsuccessful. I'm surprised my old firewall hasn't gone under yet. (I have to admit a 1.3GHz P4 running debian is massive overkill)

What does the DoD want with me? I'm a 15yr old high school student. My ping's been up in the >1000ms range (packet intercept the only explanation), and I'm starting to get that bad feeling in my stomach...

I'm not sure if it's wise for me to post this, but what the f*** should I do? I called my ISP and was transferred to the fifth level of hell and back before they hung up on me when I asked about their policy regarding this.
