Utter crap. The overwhelming majority of NSO's hiring pool -- i.e. army tech "graduates" -- are firmly against them. Another chunk doesn't care and is swayed by their 2-4x salaries, luxurious company vacations, gifts, all things to "make it up for" what you do.
They're known to be "the bad guys". The tech courses we took in the army had plenty of emphasis on ethics, both the moral kind and conflict-of-interest kind.

Main emphasis of "emphasis on ethics" is explanation to soldiers how each choice made during a chain of events resulting in underage kid, teenager or old woman in her sixties being shot point-blank is correct and no other choice is possible.
- smileybarry 6y agoWhat I meant is "don't go black hat", along with things that, upon writing this reply, might be too revealing to put online. I've written and rewritten this reply maybe four times, but there's really no way to phrase it in a way you won't twist it to fit your "you're personally responsible for civilian murder" narrative. But I know what we did (my dept. at least), and that was not it.
