But then we get it in the hands of the military, and they're an even more secretive bunch than NASA/JPL. Who even knows what they're up to in space these days, 'cause they ain't tellin'!

It is quiet obvious Mars had life at one time, most likely surface dwelling race. IF indeed the material compositiion on the subsurface is indeed enough to harbour life forms, then once again, I say it is possible there is something down there. We need men/women to venture there to see it with their own eyes. (However we prolly wouldn't hear about it for sometime, if they did find anything, if at all.)

Now why would the NAVY need such a laser?

P.S. -- I can see a laser powering a Moon base, but can't the same thing basically be done with the Sun? Without the worry of a power outage?
Space-based solar power (SBSP) is the concept of collecting solar power in space for use on Earth. It has been in research since the early 1970s.

Collect energy in space, beam it ship to ship or back to earth.
What about the prospects of life being transported from earth to mars through some mechanism?

They are basically stating the subsurface has better minerals for life support then on the actual surface itself.
