As someone who works multiple million dollar industrial military complex contracts I can tell you from personal experience that it's an enormous chunk of the economy. We actually pay ourselves tremendous amounts of money in work that stays in the US to make missiles and tanks, because they simply cannot be made elsewhere.
Virtually everything you buy is made in China or Mexico. All the shit we send to Ukraine was made in the US and heavily benefits Americans, even though Ukraine is "getting it for free".
