TLDR: Liberal and right-wing students at elite universities like Stanford are now flocking to defense jobs.

The only thing more impressive than the evaporation of morals from liberal students going into defense tech to "defend Ukraine" are the ethnicities of some of the students written about in this article. They have the exact same skin colors as the people the US military wants to bomb or does bomb every single day.

I never thought i would agree with the right wing on this but liberal universities really are brainwashing institutions. They just don't produce leftists/Marxists like the right wing thinks, they produce neoliberal imperialists...

By the way, this is not new, the CIA has always recruited massively from Harvard and Yale.
