You're talking about a company that's motto use to be "Don't be evil" and who has been referred to as the Chocolate Factory (a la Willy Wonka). Google isn't historically a military contractor or a systems contractor in general. All of their advertising, keynotes and press conferences center around connecting and helping people, not helping to develop weapons. Culturally they're a friendly company trying to make the world a better place. Presumably their employees didn't seek employment with Google under the impression they'd ever be developing technologies to aid the military in carrying out it's mission. So why is it so difficult for you to comprehend the backlash or cultural resistance to this? This would be like Coca Cola announcing it's new chemical weapons division.
