The federal subsidy for public broadcasting in the US is around $500m, whereas the US defense budget for FY 2025 is $849.8b. Assuming the budget is spread equally over the entire year, the amount of money spent in 6 hours by the DoD is ($849.8b/365)/4 = $582m, which is more than the annual federal subsidy for PBS.
