This is not only terribly rude and offensive, it is also innacurate.
Perhaps, you should look up some indian open source Contributors.

This comment is simply racist.
You must have lived a very sheltered childhood.
I too come from a military background, in fact my uncle is a retired
Marine Captain
and is now working as a civilian at the Pentagon. My Grandfather and
Mother both
are retired military, my Grandfather being a veteran of Vietnam.
It may have been off-key, but racist??
I must also include, I was already put-off by asking why we had
Fedora Ambassadors spying on Mandriva install parties on this list.
I don't know what is or isn't the job, idealogy or focus of Ambassadors
but I can say personally that isn't how things work around my house.
Spying on other projects install parties to better yourself is exactly
what it was, whether you want to take it in that context or not.
In any case I had shown the mails to a few people and they were less than
impressed. I think the ambassadors need to stop with the tunnel vision and
try to think about priorities. As an Ambassador I would think it is in your
focus to promote Fedora Core, end of story.
