While it's easy to be "offended" by anything that takes something away from the military, I'm all-in with you on this one Gunny (God but I have respected the Gunny's I have met over the years - thanks). The hotter it is outside, the "warmer" it needs to be indoors to prevent shock (in both directions) and 77 is perfectly comfortable down here in a Mississippi Summer.
The main problem with AC units ‘freezing’ over is when the Freon charge is low. That, coupled with high humidity. If it dry and arid, I wouldn’t suspect they are freezing over so much as the temperature differential cooling of the units just can’t handled it in 125 degree heat.
