> when defense types hear something is DANGEROUS, they want more of it

I have been doing defense work for almost 30 years and in my experience that is the opposite of true.

I would imagine that heightened fear/threat results in increased budgets. Is that not the case?

		Budgets are driven by congress from input by industry, senior military leaders, and current operations. Perceived risk is a completely unrelated political reality for uninformed voters.

The way this forum views the DoD and contracting makes me chuckle on a weekly basis.
