Great line of work if you have no concerns about your soul.
Is this the same kind of condemnation you give to defense and government workers. Or American citizens as a whole who have allowed our government and military to kill hundreds of thousands of people worldwide?
now now... there's nothing wrong with desiring peace. I often struggled with my conscience when designing different weapon systems. I refused a job offer building nuclear weapons at Rocky Flats. .
For a time in the 1980's the Catholic Church even offered support and retraining for weapons designers who wanted to follow the peaceful path. I looked into it after talking to my parish priest, but ended up quitting and taking a job for a company that didn't make weapons at all, without support. I later found great peace when I worked on the SDI project, because I was working on designs that protected people from nuclear attack.
