Google staff angry at Google for considering military contracts. Microsoft staff? Silent endorsement.

There was a lot of noise and concern from the people building hololens. I am not sure what the state is now: https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/22/18236116/microsoft-holole...

I proudly endorse my company's military contracts! (For several different militaries, too.)
