2007 Pentagon budget-- 459 billion dollars.
2007 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Budget-- 29 billion dollars.
NIH is the federal agency that supports the vast majority of biomedical research in the US-- research that seeks to find cures for human diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimers, asthma, arthritis, infectious disease (to name just a few).
UPDATE: For once I can actually say "Yay for Hillary!"
And check out the braindead Republican response to Hillary's plan.

PLUS the NIH is an organization that you deal with quite a bit, I'd wager, so there's reason enough to zero out the funding.

If it takes 459 bilion dollars for those men to be properly equipped and trained, then so be it.
