> That said, working for a US military contractor while not being supportive of the US military mission is kind of a silly thing to do. In my youth I applied for a defense force job in my country. I was turned down because I didn't have recent experience in the exact skill set they wanted for the first project (iirc it was Visual Basic front-end UI coding, lols. My employer at the time said they'd made a stupid mistake, I should have appreciated this statement more at the time) but it made me think. I never went for another job in defense. Honestly I don't have a problem making machines that might kill (such things are, sadly, often necessary) but on reflection, I sure do have a problem with killing someone that I don't agree should be killed. This one time I did help a friend fix a machine that was cleaning the defense force's boats, but that's another story.
