We know that.
Those lines are blurred everywhere.
There is a demarcation in between.
A civilian who works for a company that's hired by the U.S.

I don't know.
Are they forced to work for it?
Absolutely.
There are defectors.
There are those who opt and then there are those who double down and become religious cheerleaders supporting what the government's doing.
