It is not only about investment money when you have the best fibers. The fibers are so good that in lieu of shootpacks, the fiber sees the optional phase awarded. No VC walks away from the best performing fibers and the technology to enhance or improve performance....ever. So I have zero problems with being clear. If you want to make it about investment money, then no VC walks away from the Army.
Clothing that's good for the environment is nice, but I would take Army interest over niche green markets every day....(not that ours isn't greener than theirs to boot)
But you really are ignoring the more important results. I think envy can be misplaced.
