I used to work for (Navy) projects here, but was not too thrilled and
after three years as a design engineer transferred to computer operations.
Although the division produced (at the time) nothing more deadly than
sonar, I couldn't get very interested in the latest and greatest new
project, because I'm not interested in building weapons.  My lack of
motivation didn't produce the best I had to offer.  I wonder how many
other under-motivated people work in the defense industry and whether
or not that under-motivation is part of the industry's problems.
