Yes defense costs money but your focused on a shrinking part of the problem





heritage.org

In my life time defense has gone from about three times as much as entitlement spending to about one half as much. If things are not changed it will go down to one tenth as much or less in a few more decades. A severe cut to defense spending might cover 2% of the entitlement spending. Even a 100% cut, totally eliminating all military spending, would only give you enough for perhaps a tenth of entitlement spending. Whatever you do with defense, whatever you do with any other category of spending, we can't get fiscal sanity unless we reign in future entitlement increases.
