Why Lockheed Martin might be annoying:

    They are primarily a defense contractor.
    73% of its sales were from the military.
    They often top the list of US Federal Contractors.
    They almost merged with Northrop until they realized that they would then make up about 25% of the U.S. defense budget.
    They gave NASA U.S. Customary force units instead of metric, which destroyed the expensive Mars Climate Orbiter.
    Since 1995 the company paid $577 million in fines to settle fifty-four incidents of misconduct.
    Their suspended F-22 Rapter was the most expensive fighter plane of all time.
    They pushed for the war on Iraq and the 'Star Wars' defense program.
    Each taxpaying household is estimated to give them $260 each year.
    They have spent millions a year on lobbying the U.S. government.

Why Lockheed Martin might not be annoying:

    They help keep the U.S. safe.
    They have been cyber attacked.
    They help get Americans into outer space.
    They received the Collier Trophy six times.
