Try this exercise: Stand with your back to the wall holding a firearm. Wait for some terrorists, foreign invaders, street thugs or whoever is out there with ill intent to come charging at you fully intending to end your life to gain the money in your wallet, the land you live on or some negotiating points with powerful nations. Decide at that juncture if you will raise the firearm and defend yourself. Afterwards, you can criticize the men and women who protect your butt from exactly these threats every day by possessing and being willing to use deadly force. As for Ada being used only in the military: Not true. Our commercial jet engines have adopted this technology as well. So if your plane lands safely, you can thank Ada technology in part for getting you there.
