He stated the NIH has to be removed from military funding.
Huh?
There have been studies on behalf of the US military conducted by NIH, but, it's funding is dependent on the US military budget, so I don't understand that complaint at all.

RESEARCH FOR THE PEOPLE
The NIH invests over $30.9* billion annually in medical research for the American people.
More than 80% of the NIH's funding is awarded through almost 50,000 competitive grants to more than 300,000 researchers at more than 2,500 universities, medical schools, and other research institutions in every state and around the world.
About 10% of the NIH's budget supports projects conducted by nearly 6,000 scientists in its own laboratories, most of which are on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland.
NIH History (click here)
The National Institutes of Health traces its roots to 1887, when a one-room laboratory was created within the Marine Hospital Service (MHS), predecessor agency to the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS)....
December 23, 2011——The Breast Cancer Stamp Reauthorization Act reauthorizes the breast cancer stamp through December 2015. Seventy percent of the proceeds from the stamp would be provided to NIH and the remainder to support breast cancer research funded by the Department of Defense. (P.L. 112-80)
Within the history of the NIH there have been appropriations from the DOD to carry out research. So, the idea the NIH has to be defunded and moved out of the military structure is pure hatred of the common good.
The military belongs to the people of this country. NOT Senators and Representatives with an affection for the power it carries in the world.
