That might be true. But the military is many things, serving is in many ways honorable, creating weapons from behind a desk -- not so much.
Regardless, in the long run we are likely to see the end of armed conflicts. Investment in military tech will likely drop. That might take 20 years, or it might take 200 years.
But war doesn't create economic growth, why bother getting involved?
