The problem here is that non military research doesn't get any funding, you have to have some sort of military application in order to get grants.

With the rationalization that that will be taken care of in the private sector. Which is a system that works. Military invents internet. A bunch of nerds and business savvy folks go "HOLY SHIT AND YOURE GIVING IT TO US?! WE'RE GONNA MAKE A MINT!" and go innovate our facetweets and goeglez and whatever.

And actually the US govt does give out research grants to non military entities. Maybe a drop in the bucket compared to military spending but gotta give credit where due.
