I dont see why you should be so ashamed or disgusted of epics partnership. The military is not an evil thing. Politicans that make selfish greedy inhumane decisions with it are the evil thing. Thats nothing that epic or the military itself can control. So your repulsion of this matter is targeted wrongly.
And in the end, if they help in developing better unmanned drones, field control procedures, more intelligent automated systems, technologies to gather informaiton and establish control in regions struck by natural catastrophes and other stuff that can be beneficial to spare lives of soldiers and civilians alike in the long run, its a good thing.
Almost all technological advancements have their origins in development for military purposes. Its a completely normal procedure. And I personally am quite looking forward to what results of this interesting partnership.
