Unfortunately "direct suppliers of the arms industry" covers like half of the IT industry. I've also avoided such companies but it's surprisingly common.

    Yeah, I don't think there is an exact line to draw, maybe sometimes we need to be pragmatic. There's a lot of dual use stuff and I mean they drive cars or use photocopiers, computer systems and eat as well, I guess just try to do your best?! But there's some gradual decent from programming the buttons on the general's microwave to delivering a missile guidance system to them. I'd say somewhere in between you'd switch to the "dark side".
