Actually things like that were more common then you might think.  Dupont did
not want to be seen as a war profiteer during WWII.  They engineered and ran
most of the uranium and plutonium plants on a strictly cost basis.  And
several very brilliant managers and chemical engineers in the company served
at the salary of one dollar a year.

"needs.  Upon their discharge from the service, they may find in their
communities the best channels, if not all of them, have already been
fully occupied."

Things in Washington have certainly changed since then.

IIRC Thinking about Major Armstrong donating his patents for FM to the armed

forces for the duration of the war as opposed to profiteering from them- 
things certainly have changed.
