I suspect that Oppenheimer found, in 'following your duty for the good of your tribe', some justification for his moral dilemma. But the mass destruction of cities full of innocents is not, I think, the intended meaning of this Gita passage. Else, what is the whole point of spirituality? So it ends up as yet another expedient distortion.
(Just as the Bible quote 'I came not to introduce peace, but a sword' is -not- about battlefield murders.)
I'm sure that, put into a like position, Einstein would not have agreed to 'serve' in the same way. Nor would he have been the only 'refusnik'.
