Interesting. I thought engineers were supposed to be funneled into the companies that make the weapons, not use them. Either way it's kind of shitty to encourage people to enlist during a major event meant to celebrate their academic achievements.

Government engineers are supposed to be there to keep costs down, manage classified stuff, and keep the industry contractors honest.

I work with many civil engineers in public sector. Let you know if I ever work with one that didn't explode costs.
