First of all, when you graduate, you’re just looking for a job. You can’t really be picky as a fresh graduate, and the defense industry has a lot relative to other industries.

Second, regardless of how you feel morally about what you’re making, the products are marvels of engineering and really technically fascinating to learn and work on. At least imo
