The military is funded through the Congressional budgetary process, with funds the federal government receives from federal income tax and other sources.

Property taxes are remitted to the local government, and it's possible a small portion may go to the state or federal government, but the majority stays at the county level. The county uses this to pay for public infrastructure, schools, etc. No portion of county funding is going to the military unless you count your local police force.
