Bold Ruler,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the last time I looked, the US was the leading supplier of armaments to other countries...purchased on credit.
For the US to redirect those lines of production and discontinue supply would cause serious dislocation to manufacturers in the US.
In other words, the US has built great dependency on making and selling arms.
The impact for transitioning from that paradigm would have serious outcomes for our economy.
