What's with defense and militech companies using Tolkien nomenclature as branding?

[rhaps0dy]

I think it's a feature of followers of Peter Thiel Thought (and, in this case, Peter Thiel was one of the early investors).

The name Anduril means “Flame of the West”, which sounds cool as hell. But it feels a little icky to me given the ideological proclivities of Palmer Luckey and Thiel.

Yeah, the ideological proclivities are precisely why these companies are miltech.
