Picture of recent college engineering grad with jet fighter in the background considering whether to take a job with a defense contractor.
By now we're all aware the US in particular has supplied $billions of dollars of weapons to Ukraine.
What about the people who make those weapons. Do they consider what happens when the weapons they make are used to kill people?
Or is it just a job, a good paying job that provides for their family, pays the mortgage for a house in a good neighborhood with good schools.
Maybe they see themselves as "patriots". That there are "enemies" out there needing to be fought against. So those killed by those weapons are the enemy.
Do those defense industry workers have a conscience about those being killed by the weapons they make?
Regarding the US weapons sent to Ukraine if those workers have no qualms about the weaponry they make killing people it appears they've thoroughly assimilated the US media's portrayal of Russia being the aggressor and the Ukrainian's need to defend themselves.
