You've missed the £27bn or so that gets spent on housing benefit. That's not all unemployed, granted, but all unemployed folks qualify and receive it.
That £2.3bn is unemployment benefits, which is a deliberately small category. The unemployed can and do claim a lot more than that. And it outweighs military spending by a huge margin.
