While reading the controversies section of the BCG Wikipedia article I noticed a paraphrase from a BCG spokesperson that said “the firm turns down projects involving military and intelligence strategy”. Is this true and are there firms that do this kind of work?

You can turn down jobs and still accept similar jobs… unless the spokesperson said “all jobs,” I’d assume they’re making this kind of dodge. Highly doubt any big firm would leave all that defense money on the table.

Yeah, lots of room for ambiguity there. The way the article is written clouds things even more… can’t tell whether they mean decline those projects in Saudi Arabia, or everywhere.

Yes, lots of defense contractors do that work.
