One can support a strong military and still not want analysis or decision making to be overly automated. Certainly not by an LLM that could easily hallucinate that World War 3 has started.

One can also want to contribute to the military via taxes or service but not personal data. Just as one can be pro-police while also pro-fourth amendment. Respect people’s privacy or you won’t have a country worth protecting.
