12. This has nothing to do with military spending.
SETI's funding is almost exclusively private.
Maybe you could elaborate on the value of SETI? Knowledge does have intrinsic value, but if that knowledge can't be applied to anything else, what value does it have? Knowing that extra-terrestrial intelligence exists is about as useful as knowing who won the MLB 1985 All-Star game.
Is knowing for the sake of knowing worth the effort?
