Yes I agree, the inhumane stuff like landmines (which thank goodness have been removed from many countries arsenals, although not all of them yet) and cluster bombs that are just as bad I have problems with, as they cause suffering many years after their use.
The reason I wouldn’t mind having a look is from a technological perspective the technology used in many of the systems is often really cutting edge and has real world uses as well as some of the killing ones. And not all of the stuff there is for killing, and its not all being sold to dodgy dictators (although obviously some of that must go on and cant really be good for anyone) I would imagine non lethal systems are there too being exhibited for protection of people. Like stab/bullet proof vests, CS spray tasars etc and showcases of other non-lethal technology. Take for instance the Hawkeye system that we have seen in all the cricket lately. That was actually developed for tracking missiles. A frivolous example I accept but its not all doom and death.
People are complaining about part of the things that happen at the event without even considering some of the other things. Granted the bad things are really bad and maybe to some people they cant see further than that, but how about a poster saying, "STOP SELLING ARMS TO DICTATORS AND BAD PEOPLE, but thanks for your stab vests that save emergency service workers every week, we like them”
Think it will happen?
