The message is that "Civil" is bad and commercial is good. It's not until the experiment has failed will anyone take notice. It's only a commercial adventure though; not as as if it could be our national interest and security at risk.
The important thing is that yer man Gray gets the money he was hired for.
Everyone I know who's still in DES hates each day that goes by. They are depressed by seeing things that probably won't work being pushed through and ideals of service they've held dear being dismantled.
Once the great experiment is in place, though, all the knowledge, experience and training will have been lost to put it back together should it fail. Ah, bugger it; it's only money.
