This is one side story, with no "oh I didn't knew it'll be used that way!" gotcha moment - I've worked in private milsec for some time, and I'm responsible for few device designs / ammo improvements/mk's, while I take pride in job well done, just because someone dies more quickly, doesn't mean its a good death - so after some years, I've started having doubts of that career path.


Imagine the world we could live in if there were no weapons. That's the world we would have if nobody built them.

I have heard the line "If I don't build it somebody else will." from an engineer working on multi-million dollar weapons (think F-16).

I can only decide what I do with my time on this earth. Everyone makes that decision for themselves.
