Greatest mistake they could ever make. Give the military a greater grip on NASA than they already have and you'll see just how dire things could get. I, for one, don't want to see a group of paranoid, juvenile, square jawed jarheads get their grubby little fingers into anymore stuff. Eisenhower warned of what would happen if the military-industrial complex got their own way and civil law and order was ignored for the sake of power and greed. $2.3 trillion missing dollars that can't be accounted for by the US DoD over the last few years is a symptom of what Ike warned about. Giving these people more to play around with would be a huge mistake.
I don't want to see a militarisation of space be given carte blanche by a bad decision on the part of the politicians.
Quite frankly, I don't want to see science become hijacked by the generals (and their underlings) for the sake of "national security" (which is a load of nonsense to begin with).
