You also might look at the work done on the Zuse Z-1 in Germany during
WW-II.  He was building one of the first computers to help the Nazi
War machine.  He saw that they were going to lose anyway so he just
continued anyway to help build a machine that would be useful after
the war to help mankind.

Yes the military wastes a lot of money.  But they also support
artificial intelligence, VLSI, walking machines and other things
that may prove useful for non warlike environments.

Just a thought here.
