It needs to be fully explored that military spending is the ultimate broken window fallacy, as I've said elsewhere. In the same manner of Bastiat's famous essay, "What is Seen and What is Not Seen", all military spending is an investment in destruction, not production. The best one can hope is that the investment is wasted. The worst, of course, are broken windows, broken bodies, broken lives.
