R&D for fusion and Geo-thermal energy, or transit, or basically anything thats purpose is not destruction and waste. Think about when a fighter crashes... that is like 150 Mil (F-22). 150 million... is A LOT of money.

It certainly would be nice if that were the case, and it's something worth working towards. It's not going to happen overnight, though.

Regarding the purpose of weapons of war: I have to disagree - while one of their uses is destruction, the primary purpose is to send the message "Don't fuck with us, we'll fuck you back." In any case, we're in substantial agreement on your main point.
