They didn't see a penny of that so why should they like you for it.

Rather it paid for private security firms to drive around in armored cars living it up.

I heard one story that a firm had a tank stuck in a traffic jam and they got bored of waiting so just drove over all the cars in front of them. That kind of behaviour doesn't win hearts and minds.
