Well, the money is going to R&D so it will advance human knowledge. Are there non-military used for the research? It’s only $150 million. Peanuts. One F35 costs around $100 million.
Didn’t I read somewhere that we spent $20 billion for air conditioning during the war in Afghanistan?

Can’t we express a desire for our elected leaders to spend our tax money on good instead of perpetuating the military industrial complex?
