I was hyped when I read this as "Australian military.." still hyped for Austria but I am pretty sure there is no way in hell australia could be this progressive unfortunately.

More progressive than Austria is a freakishly low bar.

I think this is more about national security than progressiveism. For any military to use Microsoft word at this point sounds irresponsible to the point of bordering treason.

It looks like you're trying to blow up a county. Would you like help?
