How would that work? As in, what percentage of the technologists would need to agree to that to have it happen? It seems to me (with my extremely limited view of economics), that it would just create shortage of supply, and so the technologists that would continue to participate would make a lot more money. That in turn would make it more difficult for the techs that might agree with your position, but are currently in dismal financial circumstances for whatever reason, to refuse to create/maintain the "war machines." Perhaps I'm too pessimistic, and am the problem you're speaking of. But it seems like a "boil the ocean" proposition to me, at least from any way I can try to envision it happening.
