All taxes pay for all of the governments expenditure...you can't get away from that.

It all goes into the same big pot so about 2% of my road tax goes on Britains Military to fulfill our NATO pledge, the same as all NATO states insofar as I'm aware.

The Military is there to protect...same as the Fire service, Police and Ambulance/Medical services.

If a world has a mass disaster, the 'Guard wil help, they won't just sit in the barracks and read their Primers. If the Imperium builds bunkers to protect it's people, it's going to use everything it can to help them. The Imperium needs it's people and the Military use it as training (real life out look).
