Do you think it is ethical to work for a company that builds drones, weaponry, or supplies parts to the military?

I started in defense, but I would now after 15+ years not do any work in defense or gambling or trading. It was a good experience for me though, taught me a lot, but I wouldn't do it again now.
I've just received an offer from a large company in the gambling industry. I am somewhat conflicted about taking it, on one hand I feel adults should be allowed to decide to waste some money at a casino and I have no issue with gambling as an activity. But, while I don't feel gambling is inherently bad, I am aware that the companies in the industry are incredibly predatory and invest significant amounts of resources into making their products and services as addictive as possible.
My current job is basically just helping further the CCP's global expansion so I feel gambling is somewhat better ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Im hoping for another offer from a company who do software for the insurance industry, that would be first prize...
Would there be any aspect of defense you would consider? For example another comment mentioned situational awareness, etc. Basically weapons systems which might STOP them from being used on civilians?
No, I blacklisted the whole industry and will not take any job there.
