[00:34:12] <exec> 08└─Guaranteed. This is an issue of design/purpose. There's a difference between creating a general purpose tool that the Army also happens to use to kill people with (General purpose OS or Screwdrivers) and designing a tool specifically for that purpose (HUD for combat soldiers or Missiles).
