Worked there a long time too. It was easy to find engineering projects to be on that had nothing to do with offensive weapons of death. Nuclear power, railroad automation, mail sorting, basic research, etc. Was always a hassle dealing with the culture there though. Lots of autocratic control freaks. Lots of managers who let their egos sabotage otherwise good efforts.

thanks for the explanation

i once worked a temp job for JP Morgan Chase out of sheer desperation and left the second I found another job which was about 2 months in.. it was hard to live with myself knowing I'm contributing in any small way to such an awful organization.. I was curious if there were any other reasons why people might feel okay with working for these hellish orgs and I think you answered that
