Preface: This post may not be appropriate, but I know of no other more appropriate group, nor a more opportune moment to post. I've been wanting to ask this for a while. So if you must flame, leave something to toast another day.

I thought it was pure, basic, research. Am I waking up from some Socratic wet dream? And are you capable of doing things already that won't be seen until the next "war"? Is it possible to have state of the art basic research in neural networks done, without a military overtone? Or are Japan and Germany (and to a lesser extent Canada) parisitizing off your militarily-motivated, trail-blazing research? Ice.
