If there's one thing that I learned from grad school, it's that talented people will be made dependent and subservient to death and doom for money... But more importantly because that's the social system they've been funneled into. They don't see any alternatives.

I'd say depends on which one and what lobby work they have done. If it is from the US or Russia, it is probably a big no-no.

If it is a European or South American defense contractor or weapons manufacturer, it varies.
