In my view, Andreessen has always been more on the "hawkish" side - going back to 2016. He supported Clinton over Trump when it looked like Trump was going to be more Dove-ish on US foreign policy (ultimately he wasn't, but that was the general view during that era).
Just speaking as an American, my biggest fear with SV getting involved in the defense sector is that founders and VCs tend to be very opinionated about how their products actually get used, and I'd be worried they rug-pull key defense technologies away from the US military should be applied in a manner contrary to their interests. Maybe those interests align with mine, maybe they don't, but I can hold my electeds accountable: I can't do that with Andreessen or his "Gundo Bros"
