Brings me back to a struggle session I had with an engineering student who argued that working for Raytheon is fine as long as you donate some of your income to relief agencies who help survivors of the attacks carried out with Raytheon weapons.
At my college they made us take an oath to do no wrong before graduating. Then they have their events sponsored by Lockheed, Raytheon, Northrop, Boeing, L3Harris.
Military government contracting is like socialism for mediocre engineers. You're not good enough to do something beneficial for humanity, but you gotta use that degree! They'll hire anyone with a B-average to do their dirty work.
Nah it was a struggle session because I would start posting links to US atrocities whenever promos for these companies came up, then usually a group of guys who interned there would come troll. It usually would go on for several hours because I would take advantage of the situation to just post more evidence of the companies being ghoulish, and make sure that no one would see the original promo after it gets buried in a billion messages.
I literally left an org because I was getting pressure to work on weapons.
Engineering ethics in the US are a joke. It's ingrained in the culture.
He's like a character in a bad war comedy. Yikes.
Reminds me of an email that got sent by the computer science department back when I was doing a degree.
