Should I refuse to make a processor if the same one is used in GPS, dish network, scientific recon, and military satellites? There are only a very few chips available. For the most part civilian and military systems are the same. Shall we volunteer to reduce our personal conveniences and capabilities to limit their military potential? If you agree feel free to turn off the GPS on your phone.</p>

I know reading comprehension is hard.<br>

Feel free to pimp yourself to the Army or other war departments if
