no you are 100% correct, DoD spends like 1 trill a year on defense and pretty much all of that money goes into the US economy
not only the defense industry, but entire swaths of the US, whole towns and large parts of some cities all exist because of defense spending.
it's hundreds of thousands of jobs, maybe even millions, the defense industry creates alot of business for many other industries

Defense spending is discretionary and includes healthcare, education, and housing in addition to the, uh, shooty war bang bangs they do.
Mandatory spending is a behemoth in comparison.
