There are varying degrees of "military lab," my favorite example being the National Ignition Facility.

The NIF has a military mission too. Straight from Wikipedia:

> NIF's mission is to achieve fusion ignition with high energy gain, and to support nuclear weapon maintenance and design by studying the behavior of matter under the conditions found within nuclear weapons.

Heh, can you say more about it?

That is true. I am military and I work in a true military lab, so I probably have a different perspective
