You sure about that, the microwave oven, the Internet, GPS, airplanes, TOR, Digital Cameras, Duct Tape, most if not all Space Programs, weather radar, Nuclear energy, ambulances, safety razors, canned food, Siri, and much more.
All these things and more come from military science funding, sure military science funding may be wasted, put into useless things but that's the point of science to throw things at a wall and see what happens not all science funding is worth it.
By not acknowledging that military science funding has changed civilian life is basically saying all science is a waste.
Yeah, the military produced all those things. I wonder what would happen if we gave scientists/engineers/artists the same budget over the same period of time?
You have apples, what are you comparing them to?
