There are undoubtedly military applications and it's not a secret conspiracy or anything. The US military has already tested Starlink and it's been publicly announced. SpaceX is already a military contractor in other areas, of course. But the consumer market is bigger. It's not an afterthought; it's the main event. And AFAIK SpaceX's funding for Starlink is a combination of their own revenue from launch services, and private VC. So it's not correct to say that the military is "bankrolling" Starlink, except to the extent that they buy unrelated launch services from SpaceX.
