To be clear, Huawei products are not being used within the US military. The US military is in countries that do use Huawei products. In order to properly operate in these countries the US military would have to use or connect to these products in some way.

Right. So they are not so much a threat that our military won't use them in foreign territory but they are so much of a threat that consumers are banned from getting them in the US. What a joke.

This logic doesn't hold. DoD networks are segmented. The threat model for Chinese-controlled core telecom equipment used in American markets is not the same as the threat model for bridge connectivity to foreign networks that are already controlled by any theoretical Huawei implant by dint of running Huawei gear.
