I have no problem spending on tech and research.Military spending is one of the most effective ways the US Govt can and does spend money. A lot of that money is used to purchase from the private sector, who is using the funds to create new and better technology that then later is used for the better of all of the American people. GPS, internet, come to mind...down to new technology in clothing.
The problem is a small fraction of the military budget is spent on research. They need to audit and reign in the wasteful spending.
We can eliminate at least $700B over 5 years in wasteful military spending.
