Reply to comment by pk10534 in [OC] Around 30% of countries spend more than 2% of GDP on their military by IndeterminateYogurt
You are cherry-picking random good accidents, what about all the rest of the military spending that had no other value than the military type? And do you think these advancements wouldn't have happened in civil sector anyway? They happened in military research because that's where the money went, not because military spending is inherently useful.
