Total percentage of manpower is only one way of measuring effort.

  True, but can you show me any fair measurement of effort that would support weapons innovation being the world's main priority right now?

    I don't have any data to point to, but I would be interested to see a breakdown of how many graduates of different fields go into defense. Among my peers from college, a fairly broad spectrum of engineers, that number seems to be around 50%. I expect that is rather elevated due to particulars of that region, but I wonder what else can compare? In other words, not "people working in weapons : the world" but rather "STEM workers in defense : STEM workers qualified to work in defense." Where are we allocating the brains of society?

      You can look it up in most countries.
