"...I can envision myself working for a major European military power..." Hmmm

  Prussian military, British military, French military. I am speaking about middle ages to modern era. A lot of management and scientific progress happened there, and it was a way for the lower classes to rise in a more meritocratic way. It was also a mechanism to learn sailing skills so you could become a trading merchant.

    So basically, you are willing to sell your morals for scientific progress in the name of helping people? You sound conflicted.

      I don't think it is possible to live your life entirely pure based on your morals. This is a philosophical question. It is possible to work for Amazon today or the large corporation of the past, and not be entirely morally OK with the situation. Many aspects of life are the same, unless you are a monk.

        Of course it is. You just are arguing that morals need to allow for doing shitty things for great things in the end. Not very new of an idea...
