lol what? He literally said "Indonesian soldiers",

Per https://ecommons.cornell.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/7828... -- "Nor has Suharto forgotten to fill many key posts with what one might call "military cripples"—in other words, men whose religion, ethnic background, or historic experience in an Army dominated by abangan-Muslim Javanese effectively precludes them from serious ambitions for the presidency: obvious examples are two recent Ministers of Defense, the Protestant Toba Batak Panggabean, and the Muslim Buginese Andi Mohammad Yusuf" - implying the common Indonesian soldier profile is Abangan-Muslim Javanese

Javanese people are almost all sunni muslim

as an apple fan i can assure you this is exactly what I think, I just prefer the results that Apple's approach enables and wish legislators would let consumers choose it as opposed to forcing the results to look more like Android

we had something like this. Environment was flaky and expectation was you run the test a few times till it passes.... as expected most developers who can issue put requests with curl or something would only need to "run" that test once
