Working in weapons can be quite fun. I study Electrical Engineering, so in my case it would be controllers, tracking devices or whatever they can think of and indeed, that is really cool stuff to work on. I think that is why many people don't really have problems with working there. Large budgets and cool stuff, what more could you possibly want?
But if I may ask, what made you question your line of work?

As I said, it was really just a realisation that I was in the war business. I'm a liberal greenie hippie-type person at heart, so the cognitive dissonance was not easy. When I had an opportunity to get a job much more to my ethical leanings, I jumped - even though the job I was jumping to was anything but secure. The new company was tiny, and likely to not survive; but so far it's been 4 years, and we have done wonders in that time. I am very proud to have played a small role in the successes we have achieved so far : www.rexbionics.com

Wow, that is awesome stuff. You most certainly have a reason to be proud. Working on awesome machinery and helping people at the same time. Good luck and have fun with the further development of the rex. I think you have made the right choice if I may say so.
