26. exactly. There are just as many (and MORE) non-miltary jobs in green energy, transportation,
education, health care, elder care, infrastructure, and on and on-a greater variety of jobs that could employ a far larger number of people (spend a million on ONE torpedo or spend a million employing 20 teachers for a year)? The reason it goes to the military is to maintain the status quo; funding the same rich f*cks who are heavily invested in the fossil fuel industry and the military industrial complex. If we spent out money on developing clean, green energy projects instead, then what would be in it for them?
