Yeah we would never travel to space if not for the Nazis either.
Just because the State funded or discovered a thing does not mean that they are the only organization capable of ever doing so.
Monopolizing a quarter or more of a countries economic output through superior firepower tends to lead to all kinds of advances, even if it's the most effective means of progress does not mean it is moral or just to do so.

Seems like to me you only focus on the expenses sheet without a glance on what these expenses save you.
