The top management got to make the choice. Clearly, the CEO didn't like working for the military, or at least he made that excuse during the buy-out.

Some of the technical staff may have agreed. Mostly though, defense contractors don't end up hiring the kind of people who hate defense contracting.

Prior to the buy-out, if you wanted to make cute little household robots, would you have applied for a job at Boston Dynamics? (FYI, NO!!!)
