One of my first jobs out of college was working on simulation code dealing with weapons effects, incl. nuclear weapons.

I know I personally struggled with the ethics of it, but not all colleagues did. To some it was patriotism, to others it was an interesting problem, to yet some others it was just a job.

I learned a lot listening to the effects guys that were around during the live testing. Makes the 2020's seem tame compared to what was going on during the Cold War.
