Everything I got offers for were weapons platforms, fire control systems, or guidance.

The exact same time I was going through these a cruise missile in Yemen hit a school bus full of kids - obviously one American made sold to the Saudis.

My kid wasn't in school yet, but I looked at him, shook my head and said nope. Can't do it. Won't do it. Turns out I do value things other than fun projects and money, and by a huge margin.
