I'm rather unoriginal when it comes to choosing usernames. I've been married 10 years to a minister/carpenter and we have three boys aged 7, 4 and 18 months. I stay at home full time, we homeschool, and I also do professional photography on a very part time basis. Besides being an avid reader, I'm into crafty stuff like scrapbooking and knitting.

If the government didn't fund it, someone would, I guarantee you. Do you really think that no one would have come up with microwave technology or surgical robots sans the government? The Europeans' GPS system is much more accurate than others, and that's the EU, one of the most notoriously wasteful and inefficient bodies in the world. You really think a private company allowed to develop that technology couldn't have made a better system? The government pays contractors $900 million in bonuses for a job they completed $10 billion over budget and two years late. It's the most inefficient mass of inefficiency that ever existed. If the government wasn't involved in this madness, that money would be with the consumer and entrepreneur from lower taxes. The defense's budget is exactly equal to corporate taxes in the US, currently. Cut corporate taxes by half that, and those venture capitalists will have a lot more money to invest in-- and needless to say, they won't be two years late and $10 billion over budget. Who cares if a medical start-up dies? They must not have been doing something right. In a free market, the best companies go on and the worst die out, and new ones spring up to take their place. However, when the military goes 500% over budget, it's robbing every person in America who works hard and pays taxes. It has no accountability for that, either. That is a travesty. Interestingly, the best spinoffs from the military-- internet and GPS-- are actually the ones most related to the military's actual aims of defense. It could still fund defense-related things, but the mechanical elephants need to be left to private companies.

What most people do not realize is how much revolutionary medical technology comes out of this agency’s military R&D programs. For those in need of background, you can read about the Army & DARPA’s future soldier Landwarrior program and its medtech offshoots as well as why DARPA does medical research and development that industry won’t. Fear of these future military technologies runs high with a push towards neural activation as a weapon, direct brain-computer interfaces, and drones. However, the new program has enormous potential for revolutionary medical progess as well.
