Yeah, in the way I can invest in a new GPU for my gaming computer.

Paying military subcontractors is not putting resources into improving the military, it's spending. Be it bombing a country for no profit (like Afghanistan), for resources (like Irak), or geopolitics gain (like Syria/Ukraine), it's an expense, not an inversion. The military will not get ROI from oil or geopolitics.

Those subcontractors build factories, which is investment.
