That's a horribly-smart move.

I'm constantly surprised by the willingness of an entity/person to survive and thrive in their business against what would theorically be good for society at large.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people. We didn't start the fire. "Am I my brother's keeper?" Dude managed to generate three submarine sales out of nothing which undoubtedly put food on the families of hundreds of hard-working gentlemen of Sheffield. And hey - they didn't go to war for another seven years and hey - dude was from Cyprus so it was his corner of the world he was fucking up. Best part? The subs were so shitty they were never used.
