Years ago, I decided to enter into the field of engineering, as I found that designing weapons was of interest to me. Indeed, I seemed to have the knack to visualize weapons conceptions, as if it were an art. Yet prior to graduation, I had an epiphany in that I did not want to design weapons that could potentially be used against civilians. As a result, I chose to use my engineering skills elsewhere.
Here it is, years later, and I'm finding that I might be interested in going into the field that I originally abandoned. Part of my inspiration is the arms race that is going on throughout the world, as other countries are arming themselves in what appears to be an eventual confrontation with the US. As a result, I feel the need to help the US develop countermeasures that will help us retain our superiority. My current concept of weapons would only be of use against military targets.
This is a question of ethics, and I would appreciate your input.
