I think it's completely relevant, and it should always be pointed out that humans are suffering because of our tax dollars.
Correction: VOTERS are suffering because of their own voting choices.
Correction: VOTERS are suffering because their choices are no longer meaningful.

(Two party system is broken and neither does a good job of serving the interests of their voters. "Vote harder" isn't practically effective and displaces blame to the victims. Ineffective, selfish and corrupt leaders have captured the majority of political positions, and until we get rid of them change is impossible.)

I am anti-military and vote to reflect that position. Last I checked, my tax dollars are still going towards the 700B+ military budget. How is this a consequence of my own voting choices?
