> I cannot see that this was just some unfortunate misunderstanding

It obviously wasn't a misunderstanding. The story is about a person who insulted an air force official, and got fired as a result. There is no misunderstanding about this.

So the relevant question is, should programmers be fired for insulting government brass on Twitter? I would expect most of HN to say "No, they shouldn't".

But in this case, the overwhelming majority of posters is really pissed at OP for some reason, and I'm wondering why that is.

I don't understand what this part is supposed to say?

The fact about government brass is deflection. See my comment above
