Yes, it is true that EDS has a rather "uptight" corporate ethos, but then, what other company CEO would mount a rescue attempt for employees trapped inside a country with a full-flushed, anti-American revolution ongoing?

H. Ross Perot did so when the Islamo-fascists took over Iran and held those 440 some-odd Americans hostage. Two EDS employees were in Iran at the time (1979?), and H. Ross and his boys mounted a rescue attempt at personal expense to get them out.

Now, THAT'S company loyalty!
