Let's Go to War and Cut Funding for Military Research

I found out at work the other day that, because the US has spent over 250,000,000,000 dollars in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and because the total cost of the war in Iraq is expected to be around 2,000,000,000,000 bucks, the 2007 budget for military (and other government) research is expect to be reduced dramatically. Not only do I think it's stupid to cut funding for defense research during a military conflict, but I'm also annoyed because this move will directly impact my own funding situation.
