Soo.. any of these had any real applications by the Pentagon? Or then why is the Pentagon using their budget to fund general research? It could be perfectly valid research, but that's not their job.
- relaxing 2y agoYou might want to look up DARPA for reasons why the DoD funds general research.
- mgr86 2y agoWell, we aren't exactly in the need to know here, but the DOD has been studying Climate Change for decades. At least as far back as the Bush administration of the early 00's if not well before. It is not so much oh look the climate is changing, but more what will people do when they lose access to X. In other words, what can we expect when due to climate issues all of a sudden the fishing industry in your village collapses. Or water is scarce, or a particular crop no longer is sustainable in your region. In most cases, resource scarcity will lead to conflict. Sort of the DOD's bread and butter. It is not exactly all about who will big the biggest and baddest killing machine. And more about when will those killing machines be needed. Admittedly, that is a bit of a simplification.
