Maybe I shouldn’t take the bait here…

Yes, military power is evil, but it’s a necessary evil. A society that decides to stop making weapons is going to be subjugated by one that continues to make them. Full stop.

The US Department of Peace has also been outright murdering civilians aboard vessels in international waters, including double tap strikes intended to murder the wounded.

It's not the bait on HN that you need to be worried about but the propaganda from your own government.

		My comment here is about the ethics of military weapons vs assassinations of private individuals. I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Nothing about the US Department of War's actions over the last 2 years, whose contracts Sam eagerly pursued to weaponize AI, has had to do with "preventing being subjugated". What they did do was bomb 150 or so private individual school girls.

You're saying the above is bait, when your own comment is nothing but it.
