It's false, implies everything the military uses is military grade. By that reasoning I'm having military-grade coffe this morning. The keyword you need is "defense-grade". Most fpga vendors sells "defense-grade" FPGAs, for example the Xilinx Virtex 6Q and Spartan 6Q (the 'Q' means defense-grade) a very different product line.

There's a difference between grade and use. Grade implies a certain standard of assurance for a specific market or environment. Use just means it's used by someone, or a group (in this case security).

Heck, people could (if they're nuts) call 44Con a military conference given that it's attended by various armed forces folk. I'd rather people didn't though, but if they want to look stupid while thinking they look smart, who am I to stop them?
