Can this be confirmed that this is what caused their problems? or do we just take their word for it?

I am on .mil sites all the time. Never had an issue with ANY malicious software. Sure a certificate pops up that says it will 'redirect' that you have to accept for access... but that is because it links to a secure server and your permission means you accept their terms being a government computer

And its true many are not accessible outside the US... but there are no malicious threats from .mil sites. Web masters there go out of their way to help you find the info you need, sometimes spending hours tracking it down for you.

I suspect that if someone says they got a bug... it was from another source and they assumed it was from a .mil site due to general paranoia of government..

I would verify the source before tossing around the 'ban' word. And banning someone for posting a link to ANY site that MAY contain a bug... should we not be sure that the poster had intent? or is merely a victim of an innocent post that contained hidden bugs?

I have seen ,ore bugs attached to advertising than anything else...

NEVER got even a HINT of bad stuff from a .gov or .mil site

Hmmm perhaps so... and I apologize if it was taken personally.... The intent was at the mentally of 'burn the books' I saw expressed re .mil sites

Again? Hmmmmm Well since too many here are NOT in the USA, I won't post any more live links... I will use 'dot' instead of '.' Then at least those that really care to discover the truth can have the option to get the real facts... so it will look like this... NIC dot MIL...

That way it won't set off your bells and whistles... and the timid and paranoids can simply ignore it

OH and DON'T GO TO THAT LINK.... That's the gateway to SiPRNET (You can't get in... but they will know you knocked)

with Zone Alarm NOTHING get through those two... They are both free... but consider sending them a payment... when you see how good they are
