Isn’t a large amount of the military expenditure just like… educating, housing and feeding people?

Housing and feeding, yes (although the people in question are soldiers and their dependants). "Education" is pushing it. While there are some programs that encourage soldiers to get degrees before/during/after service, that can also cover a lot of very specific military training.
