The fact that there is so much discussion on this issue indicates that perhaps it's not that good of a business decision. Or at least for the positives that it has, there are also unintended negatives.
Frankly, I believe there are additional folks who don't agree with the move, but the'yre afraid to state their opinion out of fear of being labeled "unpatriotic." Perhaps even a silent majority, but the pro-military sentiment in this country is so vocal, that people don't feel comfortable voicing their opinion on this subject.
