That you think the U.S. Army does not do good is nothing but ignorant and insulting. Your freedom to post this letter was purchased by the Army.

Windows runs every ship in the USNavy, and Office 365 and Exchange run the Pentagon and every branch of the military.
Why didn’t you write a letter for that stuff? Seriously, get your heads out of your asses. If you don’t like what is happening, work somewhere else.

This whole topic is devoid of any rational logic, and frankly is insulting to the men and women that defend our country. If it were not for innovations like these countless more lives would be lost, even on the "other side". Step off your soapbox and back to reality.

Amazing that collective new tech has not changed its trajectory from old brutal concepts of the past. We are in a race to the past.
Maybe you bunch of snowflakes should seek work elsewhere. Who do you think protects your rights of freedom and your right to say stupid stuff everyday?
You are free to quit your job, this isn’t a communist or socialist state, you have the freedom to quit at any time as a form of protest, oh, don’t wanna do that? Then shut up and get to building.
