I offered to leave my senior design group and find another when they were going to build a system for the military as their project. They were nice enough to change it to an automated feeder.

Sadly the job security in weapon manufacturer is pretty good. Least it was when I worked in one 15 years back. Pay was shite though.

Hey! Thanks bro. I'll be nice and cool by my pond. Im Canadian and I was working for a US defence contractor. I was in their industrial sector and worked in Europe, never touched a defence product and wouldn't be allowed to. But every time the quarterly numbers came out and number went up. I couldn't help but feel responsible for steering them profits.
I'm unemployed and the happiest I've ever been
