It appears you are confusing moral absolutism with moral universalism. I stand by what I wrote.

You rather made my point - everything about morality is relative. There are no moral absolutes - it is up to your (and my) prospective. For the record, I do wrestle with my employment there . . . yes, we did stop many, many Russian tanks. But I also suspect other systems have been used in Gaza by the IDF.
As for speeding and taking out Musk - 100%, sign me up for that moral tradeoff right now!!!
Everything is relative to your prospective.
I worked 10 years for a major EU defense contractor. Mostly on civilian projects, but not exclusively. For many years, I hid my employer from acquaintances & friends - when asked, I would just say "I work in software". After I left that company, one of the anti-tank missile systems I had a very (very) small part developing started to tear the fuck up Russian tanks across Ukrainian farm lands.
I don't hide that history today.
There is a word for the future you are describing: exterminism.
Sadly the world appears to be heading that way. This is the most bleak future described in one of my favorite books- Four Futures:Life After Capitalism
It's a quick read . .and highly recommended. https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/59-four-futures
