Yes, because we need even more of our researched funneled through the DoD. That's much more efficient than patent litigstion...
I used to work on a DARPA project, and had some high school field trips funded by the Naval Surface Warfare Lab. The military is a great source of technology, but it's woefully inefficient and it's got a distinct military bent. The DoD can piss away in waste and graft in one month what patent litigation costs in the whole country for a whole year.
