Yes, and to be fair it is a security breach. Sure there are memes. I’ve booted Doom on some stupid things in the past, just to see if I could. But national security isn’t the place for memes. If someone has managed to boot Doom on one of these, it means they accessed it with some sort of storage that was previously plugged into an external system.
A dirty USB drive breaks any kind of air gaps that may have been implemented for security. Computers in secure military facilities are actually configured to instantly bluescreen whenever anyone plugs an unapproved device into them, (and you’ll quickly be surrounded by very grumpy soldiers who will not-so-gently “escort” you to your boss’ office before you get court martialed). The forced kernel panic (blue screen) is specifically to prevent a rogue device from accessing anything on the affected machine.

Also this should be a very dumb embedded system. It should not be a general purpose computer capable of running something like Doom.
