Yeah, it eventually gets used on civilians. Its good if it runs off of a source of fuel that is sustainable. But Im not aware of any technologies that currently do. Even if it were electric, most electricity comes from nuke plants. Are you going to the next war America has over oil? I 've been to Iraq, and Afghanistan which is over opium and possibly lithium.
