No, by far most public spending goes towards welfare for poor and elderly people.

Almost everything people believe about "funding wars" is false and comes from believing headlines written to make you angry. (For instance, those are often humanitarian funds, or the other people are paying us, or the bill they're thinking of got vetoed. Spending on the MIC has actually continually gone down over time as % GDP.)
