> People don't have similar disdain for working at advertising corps like Google and Facebook
I can't speak for Google, but I have noticed in general people very much do have disdain for working for Facebook, and have done for the last decade.
> I thought about this because I am currently working on a pretty advanced drone that I want to sell to the DoD. My friend argued that I am in the "death industry," which pisses me off. Drones could be used to help distribute medicine in remote areas, or for surveillance. My drone is for surveillance only—it has a self-detachment feature (SDA) that is activated when the drone is attacked, but other than that the drone is for surveillance only.
Okay, so obvious question is why are you selling them to the DOD rather than directly to humanitarian organisations, medicine distributors, etc.?
I mean, obviously it's because the DOD is a massive buyer, but the reason they're a massive buyer is not because they ship *medicines* everywhere.
