The military doesn't just need chips for cruise missiles and radars. There has actually been a big push the last 20 years to move a lot of systems to COTS architectures. An Arleigh Burke destroyer uses Xeon powered blade servers to run its Aegis combat system not some weird proprietary chip from the 80s.
The level of computerization and networking is going up in the military so the needs will only increase. Intel's CONUS fabs are a national security concern.
