We keep a large and powerful navy mostly because we have world wide trade and security interests, and because we don't have powerful hostile neighbors that would cause us to shift most of our military spending to dealing with actual or potential ground based conflicts.

But even if you where right, if it was all about feeding the special interest of the defense contractors, my point would still be correct, its not a subsidy for oil (it would then rather be a subsidy for defense contractors).
