And yet, a party to this conflict thought it was a relevant piece of information to the audience. Now, the fact that OP noted it as interesting is not completely without merit. After all, interested party certainly thought it was worth to mention.

It’s supposed to provoke an emotional response

In who, I wonder? Most people I see reacting emotionally appear to be opposed to even mentioning that.

To those sympathetic to awarding contracts to those with that societal lean. It’s irrelevant to their ability to perform a contract for DEFCON. If that was never mentioned it would have never been a point at all.
If it was meant to be a point then it can make people think that those with that societal lean are poor performers. It’s not helping their cause.
