Don't know why anyone would ride Armstrong's dick when Raiden dismantled that retard right away.

He's just another comfortable rich asshole who read "HARD TIMES CREATE STRONG MEN" and though "damn...true". He loves the idea of people having to fight for their life and ideals because he grew up in a system where he didn't have to. He wants the "strongest" to win while he injected himself with state of the art nanomachines to become superhuman. No shit he loves the idea of a world where the deck is stacked in his favor, even if he doesn't want to admit it is; he's delusional at best or wholly dishonest at worst.
