Searching for extraterrestrial life is not stupid. Spending Billions on bombs to destroy our own civilization is though. If we are going to give scientists a task, I figure it is better to give them something that doesn't involve finding faster and more emotionally disconnected ways to kill his fellow human.
If you look at the Drake equation and note much the probability of finding a planet has increased from the human perspective, we would be negligent if we ignored the ET search. Additionally, we get a lot of beneficial research from SETI that gets little press. Military research benefits very few people when compared to it's non-military counterparts.
