I will point out that the military spending that people complained about provided my brother a good job at a factory making a decent wage while he was figuring out his life and college. In addition grew up to a major AFB, which was one of the biggest employers in the region, and these were good jobs too that paid well. Like all this money the government spends on military isn't just suddenly vanishing into thin air a lot of it gets put back into creating jobs, and the communities. Now there may be a lot more that gets diverted through seventeen layers of subcontractors, and more useless bureaucracy than you can shake a stick at but it isn't just being used for a useless purpose.
