It’s supposed to provoke an emotional response


In who, I wonder? Most people I see reacting emotionally appear to be opposed to even mentioning that.


To those sympathetic to awarding contracts to those with that societal lean. It’s irrelevant to their ability to perform a contract for DEFCON. If that was never mentioned it would have never been a point at all.

If it was meant to be a point then it can make people think that those with that societal lean are poor performers. It’s not helping their cause.
