Without the US military spending the computer you use right now would not be anwyhere near as advanced.

 

 

That's a weak reply. 

Was the military statement as efficient with their R+D budget as a private corporation or privately held institute of research would be? Or to put it in a different way: would a privately managed entity have yielded more scientific and technologic breakthroughs with that budget?

Military projects are often veiled in secrecy, covered in red tape, managed by peers with a common military background and overseed over closed-door sessions of a very small number of democrately elected civilians. Traditionally those are the breeding grounds of inefficiency and corruption.
