Right. Did the DoW ask for that? Or does Anthropic make a product that does that?

Obviously Anthropic does make a product that could do that -- just give Claude classified data and ask it who to target.

Obviously the military wants to use it for that purpose since they couldn't accept Anthropic's extremely limited terms.

One can easily and immediately infer the answers to both your questions are yes.

Here's the Chief Pentagon Spokesman pointing to the same verbiage and reiterating they they won't agree to those terms of use.

The DoD is explicitly asking for those things, by forcing contract renegotiation towards a contract that is identical in every way, except removing the prohibition on those things.

If the DoD did not want those things, it would not be forcing a contract renegotiation to include them, at great cost to the government.

I certainly wouldn’t give them the benefit of the doubt.
