We were in a (physical) proxy war with Russia via Ukraine until very recently, and we are currently in a digital war against Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and probably other nation-states.
Should this be under the purview of the actual military? I don't know, although that arrangement is effective for Israel's cybersecurity command.
Regardless, there is an active need for defense spending now, just not the way we've been spending it.
