development, testing and evaluation in a military context does not sound like fundamental science at all...
sure there will be research, and some of it will be open, but all the research behind closed doors does not enjoy the scrutiny of normal research, so there is plenty of opportunity to waste money on nonsense "research" ...

Observing the superior tech used by even standard military it's obvious that there is a fuckton of pure reserch going on, most of it will be top secret for many years though. NSA records this message and will apply some superhuman quantum algorithms to it and theres nothing I can do about it. Hail our petrodollar overlords!

I'm sure we are simply talking about different kinds of research...
Just like I'm sure 20 years ago a market researcher was convinced he was doing "pure" research...
The military's budget for Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation in 2016 was 69B, or 11.9% of the total budget.
