They can always package up anything used for military purposes and move it to a different branch or subsidiary to create a large enough disconnect that will keep most employees satisfied.

Not really, because they need to keep HoloLens inside the company. They could create a subsidiary which buys HoloLenses and sells them to the government, but that would still mean that Microsoft is taking a contract to sell the units.

HoloLens maybe, but the hypothetical repackaged FreedomLens could simply be based off of it.
