Also, just to add on to how the MIL-STD-1750A was so cursed:
1) The UK's Royal Air Force attempted to implement this with AMD 2901 bit slice processors. This broke men that were trained to kill. The paper about this implementation is declassified: https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/ADA114029.pdf
2) Via DARPA, the US military bankrolled the development of RISC CPUs *specifically to get the hell off this thing.* They migrated to MIPS just to get away from this thing.
