I'm tempted to resort to hyperbole of my own, but suffice to say that if you work for a defense contractor, the fact that your job doesn't directly contribute to people being exploded does not absolve you.

Absolve you of what? Supporting your countries armed forces? What a terrible sin.

Yes.

The software engineers rather directly.

The others are there to support the software and other engineers.
