>Animal testing cruelty wasn't really being thought about heavily in post WWII military aerospace development

Considering that the endpoint is machines killing actual people, it would be the height of hypocrisy in my books for them to care about "animal testing cruelty".

I don't (reading modern past and foreseeable future), but if you subscribe to the idea of 'just war'[0] it would make sense.

By "actual people" do you mean "who cares about animals dying in horrendous ways when people will be dying?"

More precisely, if a project is about making killing machines for people, that it might kill some animals to test them is the least of its moral problems.
