> not as much the people that they give money to.

The soldiers get basically no money. They risk their lives carrying around missiles that cost 5x their salary.

You’re saying we shouldn’t take it up with the tech companies and military tech vendors, which people here might actually have influence with.

A soldier is closer to a morally-neutral endpoint of your money, than a decision-maker that chooses to use violence or the threat of violence to achieve their objectives.
