Also there are roughly 1.4 million civil servants that directly work for the military in jobs the military service personnel could do but don't. That means only 1.24% of the entire population of the US deals directly with military and military service.  

Next look at all the non-military/non-government jobs that directly derive financial benefits for themselves, the county and the state in support of those men and women in uniform along with the civil servants who work with them.  

There's no error in the statements regarding how much federal monies are pumped into Island County's finances other than they are most likely in error on the low side of the contribution rather than mid-scale or at the high end. 

Now I comprehend you're not a part of that 1.24% of the US population that serves in the military but that doesn't make your anti-military thinking correct. I'd rather waste my monies on them than sanctuary/inclusive cities for aliens who have entered our nation illegally.
