First of all, the article mocks Windows, not military personnel. Score 
one for your own ignorance and lack of understanding. Secondly, who 
gives a shit about what kind of systems Soviet subs really run? Do you 
really believe that anyone reading that piece would take it literally? 
Well hell, I guess you did. Kinda hard to take your post seriously when 
it's based on a totally incorrect premise.

Third, if someday I choose to mock military personnel, dead or alive, 
that's my choice. You have no say in my values.
