Isaiah: Operation Paperclip 中美国政府的虚伪性在于,他们将纳粹描绘成敌人,除非纳粹的知识能够对美国有利。政府的决策往往以自身利益为导向,而非道德考量。Operation Paperclip 的道德性取决于当时与苏联对抗的紧迫性以及最终结果是否能阻止苏联获得技术优势。政府隐瞒真相的行为使得纳粹科学家成为受人尊敬的社会成员,而非应受到惩罚的战犯。苏联也开展了类似的行动,强制征召德国科学家为其服务。 Caleb: Operation Paperclip 的问题在于政府隐瞒真相,而非招募纳粹科学家本身。政府为了冷战的科技优势,牺牲了道德责任。杜鲁门总统可能知道Operation Paperclip 的真相,但他为了维护国家利益而选择隐瞒。Operation Paperclip 的辩护理由是冷战与苏联的竞争,但政府隐瞒细节是为了避免公众的道德谴责。Operation Paperclip 中的德国科学家参与了美国导弹、航天和核武器的研制,沃纳·冯·布劳恩领导了土星五号火箭的研制,该火箭将阿波罗号飞船送上了月球。 Jackson: 从民族主义角度来看,涉及多个群体合作的有效决策并非总是道德的。Operation Paperclip 的道德性取决于其结果是否能阻止苏联获得优势,以及当时与苏联对抗的紧迫性。政府利用纳粹科学家的研究成果,但其行为的道德性取决于是否能阻止苏联获得技术优势。二战结束后,各国通常会收集敌方技术和武器,Operation Paperclip 的问题在于政府隐瞒了纳粹科学家的真实身份。
