The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) found the UK was second only to the United States in selling weapons in 2014.

Britain’s biggest arms company, BAE Systems, is the world’s third largest seller of weapons with over $25.7 billion in sales last year....

Armed conflicts all over the world, and especially in the third world are very good for bussiness.

Yes if it pays the bills and I had no alternative. If I had 2 job offers otherwise the same one selling arms the other not I'd choose the not selling arms one

I like to think that I wouldn't. I can't honestly give a definite answer to that though. If I were to interview all of the customers who's homes I have worked in, I may well have unknowingly worked for people that are involved in it. Or bought products indirectly linked to companies like that. Consumerism and capitalism makes us quite fickle creatures, and I'm going to stop now and just bury myself back in work before I get carried away on my soap box!!

How many kids die in the handbag making industry?, clothing, chemicals, dyes, manufacturing, plastics, recycling... Do You know the most polluted river in the world is the Ganges, in some parts if you fall in your a gonna.

Like the food industry what we do is hide the reality far far far away behind close doors.... Because the reality isn't good for business, most companies spend more advertising and branding than they do making the friggin product and then the product has to limited life span built into it because profits dictate it... I'm afraid human life is just like animal life or the environment... There expendable in the name of profit!.

Life has always been expendable and had a monetary figure put on it....

When I worked in logistics part of what I dealt with was arms import and export of various types.

One of the reasons I eventually left was both the work of that nature, and also the fact that long haul logistics is slowly killing the world. I wanted to try and be a little more green in my life.

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

I sort of do work in that space.

(and no, I'm not massively overpaid)

We're a legal business, that's good enough for me.

Should shop workers be castigated for peddling drugs? (tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, er lemsip)

Surely legally sold over the counter medications are intended to improve the quality of life for the end user.....

What the OP dosent mention is who the customers are...

Noreally number 1 is saudi Arabia. Followed by Australia and many of the commonwealth countries...and all international arms have to follow strict end user licence agreements ie can't be a state linked to war crimes or terrorism..onew of the biggest source of arms is when the US leaves a country it's had conflict in...it's cheaper for them.to leave behind most small arms and ammunition etc than ship it back so that's what they do..

Principles are fine when you have the luxury of choice.

If it's all there is to put a roof over your families head, then yes.

Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

Really..

Such a narrow minded view of an industry that unfortunately exists due to mankinds need to fight due to greed or hatred..

Fortunately the British, European and Us companies abide by strict law's that govern who can and cannot purchase military equipment and arms.

And also all the work that goes into counter terrorism and development of systems to destroy contravening weapons such as land mines.

It's a sad indictment of humanity that these industries exist, but whilst wholesale murder and genocide takes place by criminals the only option is to fight them with bigger and technologically advanced weapons.

Sorry, but that's the unfortunate truth.

My intentional inclusion or omission is not an open invitation to redefine the context by imposing an altogether incorrect assumption as to the purpose of the original premise .....

That's a tough one, providing for my kids or being a cog in the murder machine?

Can't answer that one on a whim, after all, I'd be a hypocrite to turn down a job with dodgy links, and still buy t-shirts from primark.

I don't know, good question
