The bullets, gasoline, used up bombs and cruise missles etc. would already be counted under the direct expenses.

They have only counted the emergency appropriations.
All the bombs and bullets and doctors that used to be in places like Germany or Kuwait or in ammo bunkers in Nevada have all been used up and not replaced. The tanks and Humvees that haven't met with IEDs are worn out from continuous use in a harsh environment.

When you consider that a "fringe benefit" of WW2 was a rebuilding and modernization of the industrial infrastructure the country came out in good shape.
