RT: Economy now more important than military expenses, Russia's budget plans show
Russia is set to cut military spending next year in favor of boosting the national economy, marking the first time in seven years the two areas have traded places in the government’s budget plans.
Moscow has had to revise the country’s spending plan in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, with the government approving a new federal budget bill for the next three years earlier this week.
According to a note relating to the draft plan, seen by business news outlet RBC, military costs are set to stand at 3.11 trillion rubles ($41.08 million) in 2021, equivalent to around 14.5 percent of all government expenses.

I suggest you study psychology and sociology. It is treacherous to study sociology among so many liberals, but maybe you can make it a 2-fer. You can study the Marxist zoo animals in their natural habitat.
It is not just the DOD, but the Feds and companies too.
You want to be a lawyer, doctor, accountant, MBA, marketing, engineer, plumber, weld, electrician or something. But you are going to need psychology as well.
