I can cite one counter example, myself. Having seen my graduate students go
off to the Vietnam War, I was and am still not enthused about military
action. However, the thought of applying an excellent technology that was
developed by the DoD, Ada, to detect cancer cells was very appealing.
Prejudice against a technology because of its source is stupid, just like
most prejudice.

Nor every person. Trying to "sell" a computer language to civilians by
pointing to the navigation system in rockets that is used to kill people
is a non-starter.
