I suppose its possible to think this ^ but also think that its shit to send people into conflict without equipping them properly.
It won't be spent on soldiers salaries, their shitty homes on bases or equipment they hold in their hands.
It'll be spent on giant shiny things so that ministers can stand next to something giant and shiny and say they paid for it so that idiots will vote for them.
Same as it ever was.
