I used to build fantastic little things the likes of which no human being had ever seen before that have killed many, many, people including (if reports from that side of the company are right, and they are) thousands and thousands of Russians and their tanks.

Now I design radar panel assemblies for weather satellites.

They're both a good living.

I would much prefer a defense contractor that was honest about what they do

I'm more turned off by the ones that have infinite euphemisms like "analyze risk matrix for counteractions" instead of "find all the ways that the brown people are going to try to escape getting killed by our drone targeting system"

The East is a delicate matter.

Only someone who has never seen war first-hand can make a statement like that. You've never been in the kill zone.

I was an infantryman in the US Army from 1998-2008.

I used the GI Bill and Army College Fund to pay for my bachelors.

I deployed to "tHe KiLl ZoNe" twice with C Co 1/503rd infantry and A Co 1/23rd infantry.
