Let the "military" run linux and those same hackers will be breaking into those same systems. They are ripe targets and more accessible than systems located elsewhere (in physical space or cyber space).
Linux development works differently from Windows development, and does seem to deliver a better quality product. Super-computers moved over to Linux many years ago. Linux systems do seem to be less vulnerable than Windows-based systems.
[Do you think the Chinese military's systems have NOT been hacked?]
I wouldn't have a clue, and neither do you. The Iranian centrifuges they were using for U-235 enrichment were hacked a few years ago, and we did get to hear about that.
