What if the people developed the missiles for defense? It's not like the engineers have much say when the state goes crazy and starts using them in offensive manner. You can quit at that point, but stockpiles are built over decades, not overnight - the missiles are already done and fired by the time you quit.

> Nothing. People gonna war either way. No amount of shaming, pearl clutching, or accurate laying of blame at someone's feet is going to convince adversarial countries to never go to war or fire munitions in anger.

Indeed - so defensive measures like missiles are necessary. Why is it unethical to develop them?
