Use military budgets to help the poor?

Helping poor people earn a living by making sellable items, a la Ten Thousand Villages, seems to be a rather effective method of helping the poor help themselves. Why not do the same for camouflage gear used my militaries world wide? Mandating the military purchases to come from such a non-profit organization would mean some of our military budget would ACTUALLY help the poor, an immensely novel idea.
