I didn't work for a dot.com company nor am I some IT software weinie ... I helped design the computers in most of the military aircraft that flew in both Iraq wars ... I never saw anyone who sat on 1000 dollar Herman miller chairs, drank cappachinos and played video games where I worked.

The fact of the matter is that a lot of these jobs existed in the .COM years and marginalized people like you. But having said that, I didnt think that defense type jobs were being outsourced to India. We have quite a bit of defense related jobs locally here in Central Florida and even naturalized citiens are not eligeble for some of them. And defense software related positions have seen a big rise in the last couple of years compared to pre 9/11 when lot of these jobs were gutted during the Clinton years. So if anything, it looks to me like being a tech person in defense and homeland security areas is one of the best fields to be in.
By the way not sure if you are aware but there is a new agency called HRPA I think its called that has hundreds of millions for companies (small businesses and the like) to bring out solutions related to homeland security and these are solely for american companies. So I am a bit surprised that you have a hard time or had a hard time finding a job in a defence related arena.
