I guess my "message" went right over your head. Sorry 'bout that. Lemmee see if I can simplify it ...... I was trying to intimate that it's a joke to think that military hardware is impregnable/incorruptable. Of course, if you buy into what propaganda the Pentagon (and the thieving contractors that run it) spews, I could see where you'd believe that there couldn't be a snookering of these super-smart machines. Built by the same sorta men that made Ford Pintos, the DeHavilland Comet, Cargo doors on 747s, the super-critical lenses that rendered the space telescope myopic.
