I'll be amazed if this actually happens. Defense contractors already pour a lot of money into political campaigns, but if this ever starts to pick up steam, they'll just pour more and more money into the campaigns of politicians who will stop it. In the shape our current democracy is in, I don't see this changing until either we make some serious reforms about campaign finance or another indutry has a vested interest in changing things. The only industry I can think of who might make more money if we cut back on military would be private security firms like Blackwater.
