Many in anthropology see this as a problem for the discipline. What do they find problematic?

Anthropologists find this issue as a problem because they considered that Anthropology must not be weaponized. They think Anthropology has nothing to do with weapons because it has other purposes. They even consider that this kind of work is not ethical for the possible damages they could produce by working with the arms industry and the defense program. The Human Terrain Systems Program also hired sociologists, linguistics, and political science scholars.
