Googlers' ethical refusal to build airgap systems curtailed Google's ability to bid on sensitive military contracts

I’m no longer an engineer, but I would imagine most systems today are so dependent on internet connectivity that it takes some finesse to build a working system without it.

I’m more interested in the moral question: Is it wrong to participate in any military engineering? Is it better if it’s surveilling citizens, or worse? Is it worse under Trump?
