In short, there is substantial empirical evidence that research and CapEx is much more efficient than dumping resources into OpEx for military purposes
The question is how dependent said OpEx is on the availability of oil — in the days before laptops we used to say that a computer's attention span was only as long as its extension cord — and the US seems to be currently willing to sustain a fairly high OpEx halfway around the world for fairly unclear reasons; I hope present vs. future OpEx calculations aren't major factors in that decision.
