They wanted the communications so they could send
missiles back.

I also suspect if you look at who was doing the work along
the DARPANet, you'll find academics who were thinking
about the implications of communications for science and
research.

There were quite a few instances of defense money
providing a patriotic, fight the Russkies veneer over
funding of peacetime advances in the 50s and 60s. Think
the interstate system.

Couldn't call DARPANet a top locked down military secret.
In 1973, my high school math class and I were shown UC
Santa Barbara's node in good old Engineering I. No one
unlocked any doors to let us in.
