I'm reminded of a short video clip I saw a while back with a dollar-counter on-screen. Different kinds of weapons were fired, each one bigger and more expensive than the last, the counter spinning upwards all-the-while. And here's me thinking: man, just don't shoot two or three of those anti-aircraft missiles, give the cash to me, and I could buy a house and live comfortably with my family.

If it weren't for the military, you might not have a country left to live in.

This is a strawman argument.

One can acknowledge the necessity of having a military while at the same time questioning the magnitude of defense spending.
