Surely you don't mean this.  The first responsibility is to defend our
country.  Developing systems hopefully helps support that goal.
Within systems development, the responsibility is to develop
effective, safe systems, as inexpensively as possible.  Perhaps you've
spent so much time arguing about Ada (usually effectively) that you've
suffered from Priority Inversion? ;-)
