In the last 10 years, the military has done some amazing work in research that has reached the public, and saved tens of thousands of lives.
For example, in the lab I used to work in, we needed better cooling for electronics (to remove noise). That technology is now in medical equipment, allowing things like MRI's to be far more accurate.
An incredible amount of real world research comes out of the military. Removing it's funding would be the wrong thing to do.
