Neat!

We're trying to decide if the Tesla kill bot dozer should have a relativistic gun on it or not. Currently it looks like a pretty solid 'Maybe'.

Relativistic Twinkies are the perfect fusion of Twinkies and fusion. I think I'm on board, but I'd still rather be somewhere else when it enters combat.

Yep, you’re right.

What we need are food replicators and tri-corders, although there are reasonable facsimiles of the latter as a field medical device using algorithms to determine a variety of things using tissue and blood samples and a smartphone and less focus on laser blasters but laser blasters will be a thing long before the other two.

Nah, there's a lot of funding and interest in medical research for war too. Guns are only good when you have the men to staff them, so making sure they survive is pretty important.

Actually funding regular rear end care and staffing military hospitals would go a long way towards helping too, but... wizzbang technology solutions to help the Warfighter in The Theater is sexier and gets more attention

combat life saving research does a ton for trauma and anatomical care. some of that filters back down into stuff like better stents for heart surgery or whatever but chronic care in general ends up deprecated - that's why we've been just on the cusp of a biotech cure for crap like type 1 diabetes for 10 years now. if the DoD suddenly gave a poo poo about fixing type 1 diabetics for, i dunno, intel recruitment or something, that poo poo would be sorted out PDQ.
