Grok was helpful. It says that total market cap in USA of military makers is about $395 billion excluding civil components such as airliners for Boeing. As you probably know, that's nearly nothing in the grand scheme of USA assets and it's nearly all a waste of money because nothing useful is done by waging war on Russia in Ukraine, Kursk, Syria or anywhere else.

Economics is about useful value created. It's true that military assets and people have been totally essential in bygone times when marauding tribes would come over the mountain or river and kill all males on the other side. But that's not how life is now. Jihadists are invited into Eurostan in vast hordes which seems suicidal to me but building fighter jets and aircraft carriers, rockets and bombs is useless against them.

Happy to help you learn,
