Good on you. I quit my job in the defence sector over two decades ago for the same reasons. Best decision I ever made.

At what point did you realise what the defence sector was?
Well it's not all bad. Some of the stuff we did was entirely defence and disaster support. I basically got to choose projects I worked on until I was told I couldn't.
Oh you mean defence = good, offence = bad?
Not really. Offence is sometimes the best defence. But when people start rubbing their hands at the prospect of a war being their retirement plan I don't want to be around them.
Good for you. I find it disgusting when people get excited about all the misery to come, because it gets them a nicer car or something.
