I remember taking on a software project which was military related. The manager seemed to be very cautious about asking, almost surprised when I was happy to take it on. He noted, “ok, great thanks...it’s just that some people don’t want to do these projects because of the nature of the application.”.

I remember thinking, “just wow”. I was eager to do something that might, possibly, help our armed forces. I couldn’t help but consider the idiocy of not doing it. Who are these people? Can’t they understand the freedoms they have today is directly related to all those that have designed, built, and used in battle the equipment that is required to keep us free?

I’m humbled by those that have served. It was an honor to do something that contributed their capability.

I had a similar experience at an interview once. The interviewer asked if I would have any "issues" working on contracts that supported the military. I remember blinking a few times in honest confusion -- why on earth was I being asked that? Was it one of those trick interview questions?

I asked the interviewer what she meant, and she said that some people have moral concerns about working on contracts that support the military. And I just had to laugh. No, I can assure you, I would not have any issues hahaha.

Got the job!
