Anyone else angered by the fact that these military companies have named themselves using words from Tolkien's works?
Andruil, Palantir... it makes a mockery of the things that Tolkien stood for and I hate it.

edit: to be clear I'm not anti-gun, and I understand needing to protect, USA is probably what it is because of things like the 7th fleet so I can enjoy my life.
idk moral highground too, can always counter that like "do you donate all of your spare money to needy people"
the challenges involved are interesting, recently was watching a video on crosspol jamming for example
somebody has to do it
What are you referring to? Do you think Tolkien was a pacifist?
On the contrary, the books are negative towards under-militarized societies (Rohan, Gondor, isolationist Elves, complacent Men).
They commonly underscore the need for watchfulness, preparation, and strength against evil adversaries.
LOTR has fairly pronounced anti-industrial themes.
