Er, huh? The word is "crunchies" and means basically the same thing as "hippies". It is a reference to granola, not combat. Good grief.

Is it possible there are two independent meanings? I would tend to lean more toward the 'granola' interpretation of the author's intent myself, considering the "Linux-loving" part of the epithet makes it shift more in the direction of "commie", perhaps? Perhaps an implied sort of disdain of tree-huggers and the like...?
