I assume you're implying the Internet would not exist without military involvement? I think that has already been debunked during the "Al Gore invented the Internet" conversation.

The military receives no benefit from my use of the Internet (aside from the tax revenue it generates, but I don't have any good way to avoid providing tax revenue to the government).



Among the parallel Universes there's undoubtedly one where development of IP stack wasn't funded by DoD. But it's not this one.
