This is sad. Because if a person is using Mac then they are totally unfit to be serving in US Army. What a waste of resources.
Either way, go point one in your face and pull the fucking trigger.
It is a former of "humor" called a "joke".

Every one knows that no decent game runs on a mac.
Everybody knows that all mac users are women and gay men. Women and gay men don't want anything to do with the army, just the army's men.
Most mac users are women and gay men. They aren't interested in the army at all, but they are interested in the army's men.
This release isn't training the kiddies to kill Iraqis, it's training kiddies to kill Syrians, Irianians and North Koreans. And if the French show some spine and stand up to them, then it'll be France next. Educate yourself on the "NeoConservative" agenda.
Are you sure it isn't because you are a flaming homosexual? Studies show that most mac users are flaming homosexuals.
Today the Department of Defense released a tape reported to be of Saddam Hussein. Translated from Arabic, Saddam Hussein remarked:
"Macintosh users are loathesome degenerates and deserve to be treated like the animals they are. Everyone knows that Bill Gates invented the GUI. He is the true visionary, not this charlatan Steve Jobs. This Apple just copies everything that the great Microsoft develops. Their pathetic company will be crushed. They will be blown away like dust and be forgotten. That Macintosh is condemned and will roast in hell under the whip of Satan."

I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Mac fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Mac (a 8600/300 w/64 Megs of RAM) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder. 20 minutes. At home, on my Pentium Pro 200 running NT 4, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Mac, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this file transfer, Netscape will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even BBEdit Lite is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Macs, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Mac that has run faster than its Wintel counterpart, despite the Macs' faster chip architecture. My 486/66 with 8 megs of ram runs faster than this 300 mhz machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that the Macintosh is a superior machine.
Mac addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a Mac over other faster, cheaper, more stable systems.
