The problem with this is that "they" is all of the taxpayers including
you and me.  You may want to recast this statement in terms of the
Military having a set amount of money taken from the general thieving
of the IRS, in which case, anything you spend that doesn't promote the
military hurts our Department of War.  Or, you may want to remember
that whatever you take from the government is stolen money, and someone
somewhere is poorer because of it.
