Back when I was reaching voting age, the two most senior senators were from my state. We were awash with military pork. Bases, necessary or otherwise, were everywhere (and not CA, OR or AK).

In part, things may be different in today's environment, but back in the day Boeing and more recently Microsoft fed a huge economic ecosystem of subcontractors, vendors, and the like. I worked for while at a company that made and repaired pcbs, nascent mouses and graphic cards. We had several mil spec contracts and it was just some podunk operation.
