I like your thinking!

Let me add a thought to it. When we spend money for military stuff (like bullets) in the end that money goes 100% for wages to someone in the production chain. There is no other place that money goes.

So, if you refocus the military supplier from building water pumps to bail out submarines to water pumps to provide water to villages, then you really haven't damaged our economy, and instead of blowing up some distant village, or some toy target on a firing range, we have made some village somewhere like us forever.

Sounds to me like a winning strategy all the way around.
