The fact that your individual job isn't as cushy as you might otherwise like

Sorry, not a 'fact' at all. I am not an aggrieved or disaffected employee. I am an AMERICAN nationalist, who has pointed to the legitimate national security concerns that certain people...mostly Liberals... wish to pretend away. You are blowing confabulatory fantasy smoke here. Guess again.

... is hardly a sign of Boeing's weakness, but rather it's vitality.

You must be one of these 'Emporer-with-no-clothes' Yes Men.' Or the glass has some drops in it, its okay, kind of guys. Never mind it used to be really full. I am not calling Boeing "weak." But the downsizing is not what any rational person would call real "vitality."

Boeing employs, what, something in excess of 158,000 people

No, its a bit less, 154,297 people. Of which approximately half, 76,366 are in the Integrated Defense Systems group. And that, while the industry dominant player in defense, is still totally inadequate for what is needed to maintain core capabilities.

E.g., The DSB has explicitly warned that we are in bad shape with regard to maintaining strategic strike skills as just one glaring red flag situation.

My guess is you're not employed in the sales department.
