Sorry, I can't even discuss this with you. I rather disagree - this is what the whole "military-industrial complex" is about - but it's off-topic and forbidden.

This is totally not what the "military-industrial complex" is about. Wow.

The MIC concept is a specific application of the general idea of regulatory capture of policymakers to the vertical of defence contracting. This is nothing like that: the corporation here isn't a defence contractor and they're not bribing the government. It fits 0%.
