If you expect to be owed anything for competitive technology, frugal design or a "moral code" then you probably don't want to work in the defense sector.
- nis0s 1y agoYou’re a little right, but mostly wrong. A lot of leaders do have moral codes, it’s self-evident.

- nis0s 1y agoI am not an arms designer, but I am aware of the historical development of precision bombing. Look it up. The reason the word “precision” exists at all in this context has a lot to do with the existence of a moral code. People abuse the moral codes of others all the time, which is maybe the subtext of your comments.
