    I designed flight controllers to detect pitot static probe failure under a military contract. That tech would have saved Air France 447.

        but this shouldn't be a defence of the military, why was it develop under a military and not a civilian contract?

        For many reasons, the most simple being that the most advanced aerospace research labs in the world are attached to USAF or NASA.

        I hope you don't think I'm trying to fight you. I know there is a complex system and history involved, I'm saying it's time this stopped.

        I've been on the other side of this argument, I've never worked for the military, but I've defended researchers who had, I can't anymore.

        not defending them going forward is not the same as retroactively debasing what they did under the only way they could.

        i designed algorithms to differentiate humans floating in the sea from flotsam under a Navy contract. That would save refugees.

        The US military needs to be abolished. But the reality of the modern world is it is also the repository for funding research.

        And while that money *could* and *should* be invested through actual science agencies, the reality is it was not.

        And the only way to develop that tech was through military contracting. So that needs to change but it doesn't invalidate that work.
