I work in manufacturing. We're mostly power gen, but have a couple of Navy jobs. I have conflicted feelings. I certainly don't like creating imperialist war machines, but it helps support the company and me as a result. Military spending is not a big money-burning hole where they throw in all the money that would be used for social services. Most of it goes towards American industry and people's livelihoods. Do I wish there was a better way? Sure. But you can't just slash the defense budget by 7 billion and not have severe ramifications for everyday people.
