Tons of infrastructure is a result of Military spending. WWII Radar lead to microwave communications. MCI (Microwave Communications, Inc) was founded by military radar engineers as a competitor to long distance using microwave communications.

can we talk about old military tech that was incredibly ahead of the time it was created in? I'm mainly thinking about the SR-71, any other good examples? The fact that that thing was made in the 60's blows my fucking mind. Cassette tapes and LEDs were invented the same year it first flew.

In Germany it's everything except Guns.

Hell, the civs can even buy better Backpacks.

Do Security Firms without "lethal-weapons" count?

If so, they even can buy GSG9 Boots and more GSG stuff on their own with a license for it, you can easily get those licenses if you are actually within a "security-circle".

You just can't buy the guns in Germany.

Digital photography. The first digital cameras were made to go on spy satellites used by the US to spy on the Soviets. Previously film cameras were used and the film had to be parachuted down to the ground and retrieved.

All the food that has a long shelf-life: TV dinners, freeze-dried coffee, semi-moist cookies, and condiment packets.

We're never getting guns back until a bloody revolution of sorts. It's one of those things that you won't ever get back once it's banned.

Europeans are conscripted (drafted) in most countries so they get qts that were forced in.

America is all volunteer so the only ones signing up are hamplanets that want to ride the cock carousel. Also lesbians.

Medical waivers. Hamplanets bullshit their way into a med waiver: no running, no pushups, no situps. They almost always got kicked out eventually but the paperwork and bureaucracy takes a while.

Even if the military didn't invent vacuum tubes, you have to admit the way they innovated WITH them certainly pushed the boundaries and led to the solid state day we live in.
