If you operated a forum, is there no company on earth, such that you wouldn't want them advertising on your forum?

Our moderation team has done an admirable job, but this controversy has escalated beyond the point where moderation actions alone can resolve this.

Isn't this saying that the ban is because Anduril's job posts causes the community to respond in inappropriate or off-topic ways - an exemplified by the linked thread's comments on Greenland - and that the forum moderators can't clean it all up?
Do they spread hate? Have they cast harm on members of the forum? Otherwise, I don't see the issue. Unless this is a blanket ban on defend contractors.
If it isn't, I simply see it as hypocritical. Especially since all the big FAANGs also all operate with the military in some capacity.
this is morally very shortsighted and selective and is in opposition to most people's value systems.
