Is there anything morally wrong about working for a defense company such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, or NG? I mean what one designs there is used to kill others and destroy places.
Some "food for thought"
I was reading the biography of Wernher Von Braun , father of Apollo space program. Ever since he was young he wanted to build space crafts, but he ended up working for the NAZIs building V2s before coming to NASA. He once said about working for the V2 "my job is to make the rocket go in the air, where it lands is not my concern." That was his attempt console himself, but that statement is not good enough for me. It sounds like he is placing the blame on somebody else, even though he had a part in the destruction.
I want to be an aerospace engineer, but the only peaceful jobs are in commercial airlines which are in Seattle. I live in the northeast and the only jobs there for AE are defense related. I really don't want to go across the country to work there.
