Remember the better equipment the safer the troops....
While I have no doubt many in the various services are empire building, the hard reality is the US military is probably the single most important element in the federal government, in todays small interconnected world, and further, has the clear responsibility to take care of this obligation, unlike many social programs.
Just because today we're fighting a strange scattered enemy with few hard assests doesn't mean that will be the enemy of the future.
Plus, weapons drive technology. Always.
