The military industry does indeed have the objective of hurting people, and it’s an important part of the US economy.

That simply isn’t true. Generals and civilian leaders set the objectives of the military, and typically their objectives are to minimize casualties on both sides of any military engagement.

The military does use force and does hurt people but that is not an objective.
