[FactualActuals]

I explicitly chose to not work on offensive technologies like missiles or drones because I didn't want to be associated with potential misuse. I don't think a lot of people on HN have a good perspective of the DOD to understand why certain mission critical technologies are necessary for the defense of our soldiers and our own people. At the same time though, there is a lot of bloat and I would argue from what I've seen that it mostly stems from contractors more than actual government employees.
