A purely "defense" contractor, protecting the country itself? No, nothing wrong with that.

But what is euphemistically called "defense" is far more often about offense - attacking those countries and people who displease or are inconvenient to you, making sure the world is structure to suit your* interests, usually at the expense of the interests, and often the lives of people elsewhere in the world.

* - In reality, the interests of the elite of your country.

What about protecting yourself and allies?

By actively seeking conflict you are increasing the risk of retaliation. That's the opposite of protecting yourself.
