   Maybe it's been a minute since his citizenship exam, but the national militia is defined by statute (10 USC § 246), rather than what people think the term means: "all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard."
   
   But, having got the part that is objectively wrong out of the way, I'm not voting for him: his is a first-rate hacker and nearly every machine I operate runs his code, so I'd like to read his thoughts about computers. I can't, and he can't see this, because some dipshits here took it upon themselves to bother Linus and Rob Pike and whoever else and I say to them "I wanted to read what those guys had to say about computers" and they bitch and moan, "He's not ideologically puuuuuure enooooooough." I don't know what position he screws in and I don't want to know: same with his politics.
