I'm not entirely sure I understand the distinction. I think both are pretty bad (immoral, as you say), and certainly one is worse than the other ("if I didn't have a second mortgage, I would spare your life!").

But either way, these machines are being made and sold because the government demands it, and the workers provide it. Whether the workers are enthusiastic or not about doing it, well, they still show up to work, and the work still gets done.

If student loans, mortgages, health insurance, college tuition and so on weren't so expensive, then I think you'd have way less people queuing up to work for Raytheon.

PS: Go check out Raytheon's instagram. They seem to be prioritizing hiring kids straight out of college, who have an incentive to work for nearly any price. https://www.instagram.com/p/BiplewylpMp/?hl=en&taken-by=rayt...
