The military is perhaps the biggest possible customer around. They do plenty of things that aren't blowing people up. It's not bad to help with non combat tasks

- Chance-Device 8mo agoYeah, but aren’t all of those things in service of “blowing people up”?
- upboundspiral 8mo agoNational defense is important, just ask Europe post Ukraine war. People taking a good idea and extending it to do bad does harm twice: in the bad act itself and in making a good thing seem bad. I am strongly against US starting wars and as you say blowing people up. I am also strongly against the US being defenseless in the case of a national emergency.
- idiotsecant 8mo agoBlowing people up is sometimes morally correct. Defending yourself against attack is very nearly always so.
