They're after me

I get a log from my broadband router providing me with all sorts of information regarding various suspicious contact that it stops from reaching my pc. Anyway, the past two days I've been getting a constant stream of this
UDP Packet - Source:7.12.12.16,13364    Destination: (My IP, port #). So, I looked up 7.12.12.16 to see who owned that IP. And, here's what I found:

I presume this is the work of a hacker who's "stolen" an IP address, but it's more exciting to think that the Department of Defense is tracking my online movements.
