it was the next step in a chain of development, that's all, they were tasked in making a weapon to end a war, and they made one, it did go a little far after that, but if you really think about it, the only people directly killed by nukes were in hiroshima and nagasaki, there have been no more detonations in populated zones, so while yes it's a terrible weapon, should have never been invented etc, and every safeguard should be brought in to make sure they are never used again, the 2 bombs dropped in war have killed less people than 9mm pistols
even if we didn't have trident, governments still have itchy trigger fingers enough so if one person launches, pretty much everyone else would launch as well - M.A.D mutually assured destruction
as far as jobs go, i agree that if there are say, 1000 unemployed people (fully able, unattached etc), and 1000 jobs that none of the 1000 people want to do because it's 'below' what they expect but would pay a living wage, then any payments to them should cease, they had a chance at a perfectly reasonable job, and didn't take it
