From the article: "Lockheed Martin selected RedHawk for the THAAD program due to the precision and guaranteed response time of Concurrent's RedHawk Linux real-time operating system. Only RedHawk Linux was able to ensure the high frame rates required in their HIL simulation without frame overruns, thereby ensuring the highest quality of system test."

Good point. I don't advocate war either but I do advocate term limits for politicians. What was that saying about old men debating while young boys die??? I don't remember but something to that effect.

What is this hatred for the military? It was the militia that kicked the Brits ass (with outside help of course but we American colonists were fed up with it) othewise we'd be bowing to the Queen right now. Organized military came from that.
This pacifist BS needs to stop. There are plenty of scavengers that want to take from us and if we don't have that image of being a bad ass, they're going to do damage.

And what's up with the San Francisco sissies banning guns? Isn't that a 2nd amendment right? I say remove remove the civil obedience oppressors (cops) from there then.
