There's nothing wrong with Google wanting as many people as possible to use their cloud offering. I suspect the engineers would be happy for most government agencies to use their offering and it makes sense for Google to pursue government contracts. Governments are the ideal cloud consumers, needing to operate at scale and happy with generic solutions as they're not so interested in squeezing out some competitive advantage. Clouds can save governments a lot of money and this is indisputably a good thing. (Even in those case where they might not be happy with a particular agency using the offering they may at least know that they're not implicated as the cloud offering is a general solution that likely does more good than harm.) Where the balance tips and they become complicit is when they offer customized and specialized solutions that further a particular mission. Here I think good engineers will draw the line as a matter of conscience.
