The Federal government has a constitutional obligation to defend the country. Education is not in the constitution and has always been chiefly a state and local burden.

Unfortunately the U.S Army is not just about "defend the country". The United States spends more on national defense than China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, India, France, United Kingdom, and Japan combined. I believe a great part of those funds would be better spent elsewhere.
