“Research and development spending in the Department of Defense contains large sums of money being spent on non-defense spending, ‘centers of excellence’ sponsored as pork spending by congressmen never requested by the Pentagon, and politicized initiatives like DEI and climate change,” Wilson Beaver, Heritage Foundation national security policy adviser, told the Washington Examiner.
