If that were the case though, once would assume the Enclave wouldn't be hostile to Talon Company then. Which obviously isn't the case. The Enclave commit bombing runs on at least two Talon Company positions after all.
If they're fodder, what does it matter? If Talon doesn't know they're hired by the Enclave, they might just start shooting. As long as they take care of some of the muties, they would be making the Enclave's job that much easier. After all, a group of Talon's should be no match for an Enclave soldier in power armor.
I'm reaching, but this whole thing is basically another plot hole anyways. it just seems like it was a random epic battle for the Capital. I can't remember if it's even tied into any quest. I just clear it out when I'm in the neighbourhood for the armor, XP, skill mags, and the behemoth kill.
