While I agree. I'm seriously getting annoyed with every single expensive thing being compared to the US military budget (that is 1 trillion if you include the stuff hidden in the other parts of the budget). Things need to stand on their own if they are worth. Removing the military is not politically viable, so we can come up with 1000s of fantasy project we could finance. However, the problem remains the same, what is the alternative use for those 21 billion. No matter if you can use the military budget, in that case you also need to evaluate alternative uses for those 21 billions.
