Theological note: Scripture grants the civil magistrate a real but limited authority to bear the sword for the restraint of evil and the defense of the innocent (Romans 13:4), so funding a defense establishment is a matter of legitimate civil order. The relevant questions are whether the forces and operations supported serve just defense rather than unjust aggression, and whether public funds are stewarded faithfully and with accountability. The summary text does not specify offensive operations, so this is an issue-relevance note rather than a verdict on any particular use of force.
