An interesting question is why you think the military is good when domestic services are bad. Could it be that domestic services are intentionally strangled, the military is used to pry open new markets from weaker countries, and private business benefits and fails to share the bounty with neither (poor) Americans nor with the subject foreigners?

We spend more, separately, on health, social security and income security than the military. Military spending is tied with medicare.
