Yeah, aggressive and little is a recipe for disaster without larger allies.

#14I've never worked in defense. Can someone explain what "these kind of people" means?
These kind of projects would be military equipment (weapons, trucks, armors) efficiency, troops efficiency (either training techniques or planning algorithms/strategies) and other retarded stuff like that.

#15You should hire me instead of him. I've been using python to do statistics and machine learning in a bioinformatics context for the last 15 years. Plus, if you don't, I'll kill this puppy. Isn't he cute? You wouldn't want to be responsible for his death, would you?
Your criticism is right, this is a sensationalist appeal. Do you think I shouldn't have made it?

#17The standard advice I've heard is: Work for defense companies to learn the technology, and then leave to transfer this technology toward peaceful (and often lucrative) applications. Swords into Ploughshares.
These companies are really set up to prevent people from doing this.

Not all knowledge obtained by working in a defense organism would be transferable. You get probably less useful real-world knowledge by working there rather than any other place.
OK, who installed the laser turrets in the server room?

I think ones personal ethics are non-negotionable. Once I have set my limits, I will never work in a field that is off limits.
Additionally, I believe you can always get a job without dropping your personal ethics. The market is huge - just keep looking.
I once had an offer like you do. I declined, and I'm happy now I did.
Good luck!
