The event being named after a US military meeter to indicate how far away the US is from nuclear war should already be an indication.

There are some good people there but also a lot of people who do not care what happens with what they build and look away when it would be time to speak up.

It's a clear reference to the movie WARGAMES more than a direct reference to the real world US military itself.

To be fair, there are a lot of hackers who work and/or worked for various intelligence agencies, either directly or as a contractor.

Some of them are people who have also clearly been hackers before and after their work there.

Was it weird? Absolutely. But let’s not pretend the government doesn’t hire hackers. It’s our biggest employer.
