Just interested in how people who make weapons rationalise what they do for a living. I understand the fascination of the engineering, I like blowing things up as much as the next man, I just wonder how a person spends all day working out new ways to pulverise ballistic gel or how to build a bigger thermobaric bomb without reflecting on what his work is eventually going to do to people. Maybe they think it will only be used on bad people?

 

perhaps they believe the adage of peace through superior firepower
