Note that if you attribute interest for military-related debt to military spending(roughly 40-50% of our interest payments) then it ends up climbing in the ranking. But it’s true that we have other major expenses as well.

Money is fungible. How do you decide what debt is military related?

(And yes, the government can give labels to the debt, but that's more of a political exercise than fiscal reality.)
