Let's say the Federal government is down to their last $10BILLION and there are two entities that need paid:
The Military member's salaries and The SNAP program.
Which would you pay and why?

Clearly, the military is one of, if not the, largest budget items.
It is just under $1 Trillion and the largest spent in the world.
The military employs almost 1.4 Million people directly, many with families. To be fair, it was quite controversial during the crafting of the US Constitution, which in the end, deemed having it a necessary and worthy risk.
On the other hand, President Dwight Eisenhower, in this farewell address, warned against the establishment of a "military-industrial complex", way back on January 17, 1961.
But at the end of the day; I prefer not to rely on hordes of hungry women and children clamoring for a crust of bread, to protect the homeland, repel invading armies/hordes and deter enterprising upstarts from even thinking about any of those activities or shenanigans.
