Considering that those "black projects" are most likely intended to "more efficiently" kill those people who are trying to kill YOU (and me and anyone else that they can who they disagree with), I have no problems at all in telling you to STFU. DoD means just that - Department of DEFENSE. Or are you one of those who think that we'll survive by renaming it and restructuring it to the Department of Let's Just Talk To The Enemy And They Won't Hate Us Because We're Nice People? If their black projects help to keep us and our allies as safe as possible, then they can gladly have tax money.
How about something more appropriate like joint ventures? (NASA's recent rejection of a Russian request for a joint project is pathetic and needs to be rectified.) How about engaging more with the private companies and individuals who have clearly shown that they are more efficient than NASA?
The real nice change would be for people like you to stop showing your hatred for the military at every f**king opportinuty by creating an anti-military tangent on an non-military topic.
Thanks for your response, but you seem to have overlooked my point. I didn't mean to raise any "anti-military tangent" as you so aptly described your interpretation of my post. I used this example for the sake of drawing attention to my post, because I know the subject tends to stir up strong emotions. So, rather than trying to convey any anti-military sentiments, I was pointing out the ever growing role of corporate influence in our government sector. At what point do we need to draw the line and identify that government activities, such as our space program, should not be subject to the influences of America's corporate mecca? My point was not to attack the military. It was to attack the growing audacity of big business.
Since when has monitoring domestic phone calls to help bust drug-dealers helped me? When has killing between 100-300+ Iraqi citizens who did nothing to me, helped me? Do you want to kill everyone you disagree with, or just those who believe in a different God?

Maybe could sell Halliburton ads on our tanks as well.

You, sir, are an idiot.
